I use the ‘parking’ feature a LOT. Just click on the ‘P’ in gSender and the mill goes to the designated spot and designated height. Slip on the dust shoe and hit ‘start’ and you are off ….
No manual raising of the Z axis involved. Works a treat!
Bit the bullet and finally upgraded from 1.4.12 to the current version. The UI will take a minute to adjust to but SO FAR, seems to work for my purposes. Went ahead and setup my laser offset and Park while I was at it.
No time to run a CNC or Vortex job but had the laser already mounted and that test file ran as expected.
