Yes, I got a successful Post. It took a LONG time but I finally got it.

I have a Chinese 2018 6090 CNC Router that I converted to a Centroid Acorn and Technic Hybrid Servos 2.2KW spindle. Comes with Centroid Pendant, and remote Z setter and Nuke type PC.

Not at all, once I wrapped my head around what all could be done with multiple WCS systems I found all kinds of uses. Generally, I use G54 for the top of my spoilboard and G55 for the top of the part, unless I can have a production run like the ...

I opened the file and it has WCS = 10, Change it to WCS = 1 and it will output G54
