Some sort of Z axis problem (I think!)
Hi
I'm very new to this so please bear with me if this question is a bit "noddy". I've built my WorkBee and I'm trying to make my first few cuts to check I've got a vague idea what I'm doing. I've created a test cut in Carbide Pro and uploaded the G-Code to the controller. However whereas I should be creating a shallow "square" cut (1mm deep) into my piece of MDF, the machine is dropping to make the cut, creating a small 1mm or so hole in the MDF and then backing away. I'm guessing it's a machine limits type problem but the console is not reporting an error.
My G-Code look like this:
G90
G21

Any good ideas of what I'm doing wrong?

Total Newbie, treat me like an idiot and chances are you won't go wrong! :)
Is this a good question?
