Glad you solved it.

While I was pouring over your original code I found that N15 and N56 appear to be missing the decimal point also. It's a small thing.

N15 G0Z37.X21
N56 G1X80

Should likely be:

N15 G0Z37.X21.
N56 G1X80.

Does emc2 interpret those values as x21 or x0.0021?

I don't think that those decimal points should be there at all.

X21 is fine, and means move X to 21 (mm in this case).
To move to X=0.0021 you put X 0.0021.
I see no point using decimal points when there are no places of decimals.

Thanks for clarifying that. My Mori requires the decimal... so that is how my plotter is setup.
