Ok, I am working on my first piece and I entered the starting GCodes from this site into ESTLCAM, I start it up and it sets X & Y using dual endstops. Then I set Z to the top of the wood scrap I am using using the clamps and metal piece. When I do this, start the router and click the button to have it start on the Rambo 1.4 I got from the shop here, it just dives in way more than the 2mm I set in ESTLCAM to start… In ESTLCAM the preview looks good, I do not see it plunging like that…
Here is an excerpt of the GCode, anyone have any thoughts about what silly thing I have done here?
I let it go the first time, it ripped the plastic off the bit and plunged down to the metal cuff so I may be a bit gun shy.
