Thanks to those who replied - I'm gradually beginning to wipe the mud
from the window into this world of CNC! Of course, Dan's explanation of
why you can't just produce a 'Z' axis code automatically makes a lot of
sense when you think of it *but* I now have the problem of trying to
understand how this works if you are trying to cut a rounded 'hump'. I
saw a web site somewhere with a pretty picture of a blue car body on it
- is the perpetrator of that on the list and would he/she be prepared to
comment please?

Best wishes
