    Hi,

    Really new to this CNC, I am having issues as follows.

    Set all axis to 0 and clicked run job. I turn the router on and the Z axis drags on the material all the way to the starting point of the G-Code. it creates like a channel (line all the way to the starting point)

    In your CAM setup, you should have a way to set Z seek / travel / safe moves height.
