Z Zero Position - Machine Bed AND Material Surface

More down here ↓↓↓ Click MORE! In this video, I’ll show you how I go about setting the Z zero position to the material surface and to the machine bed in a single file, using Vectric Aspire Version 11.5. Then I’ll show you one way of doing it in Vectric Aspire Version 10.0. First I’ll show you how I created the file in Version 11.5, using Sheets. One sheet with the Z zero position on the machine bed, and the other with it on the material surface. I’ll then show you how I calculated the toolpaths for each of the sheets. Then I’ll show you how I created the same files in Version 10.0, using 2 separate files. I’ll show you the entire carving process, and discuss important considerations along the way. I’ll then wrap things up by showing you the finished stars, and give you my thoughts on when each Z zero position is warranted.
