I am setting up a new machine and wondering what I should set the safe z at.Is that the distance to stay above your clamps.My other machine is set to -0.5.

Its a round pad with 2 wires, one goes to my breakout board and the other attached to the router bit. When I hit the button in mach it goes up but never comes back down
