I lost my notes, but I want to set my max cutting depth to go a hair into the waste board.
Is the code “z + .03”? Please help me, thanks!

I think you want:

D+.03

If I’m remembering correctly, yes. That will cut .03 below the bottom of the stock, even if you change the stock thickness.

Try the first letter of the Width, Height or Thickness from the setup dialog…

T+0.030 (You can hit the = sign to calculate the formula immediately to check it)

I checked it using the = key and it worked.

Thank you everyone!

On my version (777), “D” does not work. “T” works. If I use “D”, I get “Variable not found”
