I want my machine head to move to the far end of the table (Y-axis positive direction) when it completes a job, to make loading & unloading material easier. Is there a way to do this? Even better would if I could toggle the option on and off. Thanks. Mach4 ---

This is a function of Vectric software in the material setup stage. I use Aspire and assume it carries over to VCarve. Fusion 360 most likely works in a similar way. Others here might confirm that. I have a Masso controller, but imagine Mach will also allow you to program a push button to run gcode sending the head to a predefined location. ---

I do this a lot, in several different ways. This is done with CNC12, but there are probably ways to do it in Mach4 if that’s your controller. 1. First thing: move to your desired end position and define that XY coordinate as G30 (done in the WCS section on CNC12). This is a machine-wide position, it doesn’t change with offsets. 2. You can modify your post processer to add a line “G28 G30” after the spindle shuts off. This lifts the spindle to Z0 (G28) and moves to XY position G30. 3. You could also edit your G-Code to include that line if you don’t want to do it via the PP. 4. I’ve made a VCP screen button “G30” that runs the macro G28 G30. This is also deployed to a macro button on the WMPG pendant. Again, this will work for the EX controller, but you’d need to find the equivalent in Mach4. ---

Nice option in the EX control system where you can specify the park location at the end of a job.
