I have a feeling this has to do with the calibration issues I was having, but when I pull in any gcode, it places it way below the actual cut area.

I had to zoom really far out just to see it.

This is from the Cad/Cam side. What program/s are you using?  
The Maslow considers X0/Y0 in the centre of the sheet (as good as it gets there).  
You can create your designs around X0/Y0 in what your are using and the g-code will show centred.

Edit: Your sled is at x0/y0, so does clicking “define home” solve the placement?
