Re: PM-25MV e-stop

Not sure if you figured out a solution to your estop question. I used a multi pole estop switch that allowed me to run both the mill and controller estops on the same switch. Hopefully this helps

3 axis automatic probing

I recently purchased the digitizing package and found that it will not do X, Y and Z setup probing in one operation. I have seen this done on other systems and was wondering if it was possible with CNC12. I posted this over on the Face Book group page and Keith has offered to write a custom macro fo...
