Thank you! That worked perfectly for preventing the machine from crashing during a tool change when it's in the home position.
I’ve been trying different M6 macros to stop the machine from moving in a straight line back to the probe during batch measurements after the first tool change, but no luck ...

Hello everyone,
I’m currently running CNC12 v5.1 on my CNC router and have encountered an issue while setting up the auto tool touch-off cycle and tool change command for a rack mount ATC. Everything is working except there’s no safety check in place to verify the Y-axis position before moving the ...

Re: CHIPS (CNC12 Highly Intuitive Probing System). The must have Add-On for CNC12
New to CNC12 and have been looking for better ways to probe/manage the tool library and this looks awesome! I am using a rack mount ATC (Avid Benchtop Pro), does the system have support for them yet? If not full functionality does it maintain some functionality/is it still useable?
