    on the previous versions of the phlatscript i went into the phlamill.rb file and was able to change the retract depth to compensate for my overhead mod.
    Now when i start a cut, the Z backs off well over an inch before it starts cutting, I cannot seem to figure this out, on thicker materials the Z hits the top of the gantry.
    I only want it to come up about a quarter of an inch, any help would be appreciated

    Jeff,
    you shouldn't need to change anything in the phaltmill file if your using the latest version of the script.
    The safe travel (z) in the main parameter box is your retract depth. Just change that number to what you want. Attached files [​IMG]
