Table Location
We have purchased a machine used, Thermwood 80ES. When I run some programs that were still on the hard drive from the previous owners, the Z is about 6 inches from the table.

Thermwood 80 ES
Does anyone out there run this exact machine that would be willing to answer some questions? We purchased the router used, and are trying to get started, but we have encountered a few functionality issues.

Does anyone remember how to use DOSS commands?
I'm basically trying to view all of my macros files so I can learn exactly what they do. They are on my hard drive and I can see them. Just can't remember how to access them.

Locator Pins
For some reason, entering single line text via the tab editor and inputing other M codes seems to work. For some reason I cannot get my pins to function at all. We have totally rebuilt each cylinder as well as the air distributor block underneath the table. It is listed in my manual as "M14" as ON ...

Re: Tool Length Measuring
My issue is I'm going to be putting a tool in for the first time, and I want to make sure my "Z" Zero would be correct. I have yet to figure how to configure my "Z" Zero.
