To the standard of a LinuxCNC controlled machine as well as to a Teacup Firmware driven one. There's a checkbox at the bottom of the dialog to switch between these two. These two choices cover a wide range of milling machines.

The trick is to read a machine's manual and to adjust a given G-code program to match what's written there. If you find this annoying, such a machine and this software is not for you.

When you're positive to stop yelling and whining and invest some time to find a solution for your case you can try again. I won't defend software which is the result of hundreds of hours of my work and which I provide for free. Maybe you had more respect if I'd ask for $ 5'000 for your download.
