Shapeoko 3 Issue with cutting depth

[WillAdams (William Adams (Carbide 3D))]

If you set the origin at the surface of the MDF and jog up 1 inch how much does the machine move?

For the BitZero see:

Using/verifying the BitZero

Here is how I check out the functionality of the machine/BitZero: first check that you have sent the correct Z-axis configuration This can be easily done by jogging down to the wasteboard surface, setting zero, then using the Rapid Position command to lift 6mm above the current zero — measure how much the machine moved — if it’s wrong: open the Log Window go to the MDI (EDIT: Note that it will need to be enabled in options in current versions) and send $$ and check that the Z-axis steps/mm …

If you still have difficulties with the machine set to have the correct configuration upload a .c2d file, step-by-step notes on how you are securing your stock and managing all tool changes and setting zero relative to the stock and a photo showing an attempt at cutting still in place on the machine with the machine at the zero position or a specified offset.
