There should be Grbl postprocessors in the list that work with the Shapeoko. Inches or mm shouldn't matter, since it includes the relevant unit code in the output.

If your cuts are too deep, it's possible you need to recalibrate Grbl's z axis settings.

A lot of people had good things to say about the Shapeoko 2/Xcarve version, and I really like the idea o...
