This is the machine origin.
Machine origin is a reference position from which Tool locations, lengths and saved offsets can
be recalled. Machine origin is always located in the bottom left corner of the machine.
Once the machine has been homed, machine origin is no longer a concern for the user.
Working origin, also called Origin, or XYZ zero position, is the coordinate system the part to be
cut exists in.
Working origin can be saved by the user anywhere on the table.
If the working origin is set too close to the gantry, andtheG-codelehaspositionsbeyondthesize
