In Mach program, we select „File/Load G-Code” menu position or we click „Load G-Code” button on the
main screen. Select the file we created earlier: „planing.tap”. When the file is loaded, we can initially set

The firs command causes the Z axis rises maximum high, the second one is to set the machines tool XY
axes in the defined earlier zero point of the material.
Go to the main screen again and click „Cycle Start” button – the treatment start.

You can change the tool for an engraving cutter and load the second,

portant detail. When planning the surface we lowered its level, the en-
graving logo would be 0.1mm depth, and not 0.3mm like the one we had
assumed. “This can be easily remedied by reducing the zero point level
about 0.2mm (planned depth). Click on the text box that displays current
