Say I take a DXF and load it, optimise, autoclean... How do I set the depth of cut? Is it some fixed default or do I have to use the button on the right to set it or the Layers Tab? Sure would be nice if there was at least a short quickstart guide. Reason I ask is I have used it for a few test cuts and it seems to be pretty random as to how far the cutter plunges or it could just be me.

Kristin, in the layers tab at the bottom, look for the "cut depth" box and in there, after the colon, put a minus sign and then put in your depth of cut. 

Hope that helps?

Thanks Dave,

That's what I wanted to know, if you have been following along here and the general forum, you know I just got the mill set up (well sort of) and am chewing a piece of 2x4 to bits just getting comfortable before I place an immoveable piece of metal in a cutter path and have something go sproing and shoot past my head. I figure it's best to make all my mistakes with a cheep Dremel burr and block of wood first then move on to bigger and better things.

Indeed I have my friend and anytime I can contribute, I surely will-
