Z-Position

Does anyone know if there is a difference between a z-position -0.00 and 0.00 position, specifically for machining?

Some of my cut files are set at zero others are at -0.00, just curious if it makes a difference to anything…

You’ll have to ask your CNC machine manufacturer if there is any problem with these zero representations.

TLDR; Due to representation of numbers in computer memory zero can be shown as -0 or +0 or 0.
