If I remember correctly, I hit the red stop, then the "X"...then individually and manually enter in the "0" on each axis's pendant position, then use the MOVE command on the pendant. This well bring you back to 0,0,0 where you can start your project all over again. I do this when I determine that I ...

I would be interested to know
1: What program do you use for carving?
2: What bits did you use?
3: Are the letters raised?

I am especially interested in #3 as I am using only Vcarve desktop and see many processes that are not available to me.

Thanks,

I don't have a Shark (Piranha here), but would a loose in the mount router be partly to blame?

I was told that, instead of using a router bit to set up the x and y axis's, a laser mounted on an appropriate sized shaft (1/4" in my case) would do the job without the danger of the bit accidentally hitting the project's surface and leaving a mark, or scar. The recommended item could be a laser bo...
