Its a bit too far for me to travel :)) I live in Norway,

my advice to you is watch lots of utube videos, and dont worry about screwing stuff up, we ALL do that

I learned so much from watching Utube CNC videos, I was able to build my own CNC without plans etc.

Good luck :)

Done and done :)

I had a bit of problem finding the field to put the "custom macro macro #1 field I put M701.m1s." but it was to left on the xbox config window, I was looking for a file or something

I put my "ref all" macro on there too while I was on a roll

once again thanks Charlie
