4-3 Starting Cutting (RML-1 Mode)
Using Axis Specification
The axis or axes you selected in step

- are the target of this setting. [XYZ Origin] makes the settings for all axes (X, Y,
and Z) simultaneously, but [Z Origin] makes the setting for the X axis only, leaving the Y and Z axes unchanged.
Using this lets you make the settings for the respective axes separately. For instance, you can set the X- and Y-axis origins
aligned with a side surface of the workpiece, and set the Z-axis origin at the workpiece's top surface.
Deciding Where to Set the Origin
The locations to be made the origins vary according to the program, but most commonly the X- and Y-axis origin is set at
the front-left corner of the workpiece and the Z-axis origin is set so as to line up the tip of the blade where it just touches
the top surface of the workpiece.
