I am unable to open the MyRouter-3axis3.zip file that you attached.  My laptop does not have the required program to read it.

the version of Artcam I have offers Mach2mm.cnc, but that also caused my Z to nosedive through my wax.

I use ArtCam JewelSmith 2008, with a 3 axis mill.  I save all my toolpaths to an .mmg file.  Once I switched to Mach3 with a new 4 axis mill, my Z is going crazy.  My CAD software will save my work to about a hundred different G-code files so what is the best one to use with Mach3?  My mill is a Taig with Gecko stepper motors.  any help is appreciated.  Chuck
