Set Torch Home Position (G30)

The plasma torch will move up in Z to its home position (G30) between each cut, when the M205 command is executed.

It is important to set the G30 position before running the machine, to ensure that the torch has a known position to return to.

1. Bring the machine out of E-Stop and reference all axes.

2. Move the torch to a safe Z position, higher than the slats of the water table.

3. Click the Offsets tab in PathPilot.

4. Click the "Set G30" button to save the current torch position.

In the future, when you execute an M205 or G30 command in G-Code, the torch will return to this height.
