Guess it would be these clamps - https://www.inventables.com/technologie ... 3d-carving
I use these - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2841271 - which I make to various sizes on my 3D printer.

Re: change path to first cut
hooby,
That’s exactly what I did.
However,
I was hoping that there would be a way to set two different safe Z heights in the same file.

Adrian hit it right on.
Those are the only clamps that I use on my machine.
Extremely versatile, especially since my machine bed has 576 tapped holes on 1" centers.

Re: change path to first cut
HA…
So I thought, if I only have a problem with the first move, (rapid traverse from XYZ "0" to the first cut).
Then why cant I just change the first line of the code to a Z of 1" (instead of the .25")
So I recalculated the everything at .25 safe Z.
I then went into the roughing program and changed the first rapid traverse line to a Z of 1"
The rest of the programs remained at .25 safe Z
Perfect..
I make quite a few of these signs, so this will definitely save machine time.
