I was thinking if Easel had a display you could use that would be similar to using a Display on a milling machine.
It would be able to bring up the display and zero you location. you could then make moves XYY. and make manual cuts like slotsetc. thanks
You’re not the first one to suggest this and I certainly agree that it would be better if all of the features were self contained within Easel, but lack of an on screen DRO, along with independent x,y & z zeroing, and the missing mobile jog tool function is why I usually export the gcode and send with a dedicated gcode sender…
