Setting up Z Zero on spoiler board

Not quite. Easel is always set to generate gcode with Z-Zero at the top of your stock.
That said, you can set your wasteboard Z to -(stock Thickness). Let’s say your stock is programmed to be 19mm thick in Easel. You can jog to your wasteboard and set Z to -19mm.
Assuming mm mode…G10L20Z-19
