Set your feed rates low until you know what you do not know at the moment. Parifin sticks
available in the canning section at your local grocery might make decent test work pieces.

Do everything in G01 until you know what you are doing. I hope you have a working
feedrate override control switch.


Wes, yes, I try to be careful.
