Yeah, it seems the case that for a fair number of our customers the Shapeoko and trim router are their first/only power tools which is why I’ve always tried to focus on bootstrapping when I do tutorials such as:

Notes on rapid positions and wasteboard leveling

Finally taking the time to revisit this with other machine sizes. For a Shapeoko 3 the rapid coordinate positions are (assuming one has set the origin at the SW rapid position point): NW = 0, 350 N = 200, 350 NE = 400, 350 W = 0, 215 C = 200, 215 E = 400, 215 SW = 0,0 S = 200, 0 SE = 400, 0 which yields: [image] It is possible to move 5mm to the left along X on a Z-Plus machine, and 65mm towards the front of the machine, and the Southernmost Rapid Position Points are align…
