Considering the postage stamp size picture (;-) It is as good as I can get it. It is setup for engraving .050 deep with .010 steps

Sorry about picture size. I cant open the "tap" file. I assume that file has the G code.  Thanks for helping.

did a search and see stuff to open a tap file. will wait until kid helps me pick a file out to download it. I am afraid of getting a virus.

Mach can open it.
Or, change the extension to  .txt  and you can open it with Notepad.
Mach can run it either way.
