Mach3 2010 Screenset May 2026

The default Mach3 screens often scatter essential buttons across multiple tabs, forcing the operator to switch screens frequently to jog, zero axes, and start a program. The 2010 Screenset prioritizes workflow.

Important: This routine sets the current tool offset, not the machine coordinate Z=0.
