Thanks for the prompt reply, I'll look into "backplotters". I am well aware that it is a racing certainty that the fault is mine and that I am simply repeating the error.

Scrap is fine, you can set Z zero ALONE anywhere on the bed. Replace the tool, jog X and Y over the scrap, jog Z down until it touches the surface, set Z zero- nothing else, then GOTO XYZ 0 and finish your plaque. The other solution (too late if you have started the roughing cut) is to set Z zero on...
