Outstanding. I missed that option. It works.
One comment though - I did crash my machine. By default that processor uses G28 at the top. The option indicates something about 'safe retracts', but G28, as far as I can tell in Mach3, drives the machine to home and I think it uses machine coordinates. When I tried to start the program on the machine, even before the tool started to spin, it drove z straight down into the table. Lucky I didn't have a tool inserted but it did munch my air exit tubes flat. Once I disabled this in the pre-processor dialog it no longer inserted the G28 and it worked fine.
Regarding the WCS center, that's a good tip. Thank you. Is that just when I create the model, or does it need to be centered in the CAM Stock Setup? I had planned to use the top of my 4th axis drive box as zero when using this setup, but if I need the WCS at center of stock, I'll need to have the centerline of the rotary as the z and the y.
Thanks again.
