Thanks to you all. My problems seem to be fixed, but I'm not sure why. As far as the depth change of the outer circles was concerned, I realized that the Z acceleration should also be lowered as were the X and Y for the G0 repositioning mentioned by ERP. If they were being thrown off, why not the Z. Was my thinking correct? It seemed to work.
Then to the wild start. I finally noticed where the router was going on startup. Each time it headed for machine coordinates that I believe were the tool change position. I found that Auto Tool Changer was checked. Checking Ignore Tooll Change seems to have solved that problem. Again, correct? I see in the GCode an M6 at the start (I've been studying

). Why was it there in the first place? Was it there because of the Auto Tool Changer. And if M6 is now being ignored, how will I place an M6 where I want it and
not have it ignored.
I hope I'm making sense.
I'm sure I'll have more questions, but that's it for now. Again, thanks to all who helped. Your answers to these questions and any comments will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Jeff
