Martin,
Bill Young is the real authority on this, but I believe when we cut them at the Maker Faire we were zeroing our "Z"axis on the table itself, NOT on the top of the material. You might try that and see if it works.

Hi Martin,

Bill P is correct. As in most of my files, the racers cut with the Z-axis zeroed at the tabletop surface.

If you open the file with the Editor you'll find that sort of information at the top of the file, along with a list of variables for things like the size of all the holes. That lets you fine-tune your file for the actual size of the dowels that you're using, change the cut depth, etc.
