Hi, I’m having a bizarre problem with the very first cut. The gcode seems very simple, but this has repeated itself three times now. Here’s the Gcode, created using CamBam with a custom postprocessor. It seems like the G00 doesn’t go to the right place, maybe 5mm off in X. The effect is that the Z goes down, makes the (off by a few mm in X) cut in Y, then the rectangular area is cut out correctly. I’m uploading the code file using the web interface, and playing the file from there locally.
G61 should put the system in absolute stop mode. But it doesn’t seem to be in the list of supported gcodes. Could that be a problem?

Instead of a rectangular cut I’m getting:

With the cut on the left only being there for the very first cut
OK. Forget it. Belt slippage problem
