Ignore. Think of all values as 'units'. If your G Code is in inches then put
the values in inches in the material size fields. I was never able to make
any sense of they mm inch settings.

Has anybody here had experience with, and would offer feedback on, the

Thanks,

Hi, Start with a CAD program, CNC Simulator and a DXF to gcode
