sawblades center orientation

Post by 14u2cnc »

I have a bunch of old sawblades to cut...and different sizes circle blanks
Wanting my plasma table to recognize the center of the drawing as orientation instead of the bottom left corner...
I am sure its a simple button I am missing to do this.
Help appreciated. Thank you

If you use SheetCam, you just center the part on 0,0. Then zero your torch on the center of the blade.
If not, I'm sure there's a similar procedure.
