Re: Setting Z Height at tool change

The part I dont understand is, at a tool change cnc12 as it is standard does not ask you to reset Z zero? The macro adds this portion?
Trying to get a few things out the door and making a separate file for every tool until I have time to go over this.
Thanks

If you already have a mill pro license do you have to pay again to get the router license?

Re: Go To Zero

Thanks again for everyone's help, mission accomplished, I know what you mean Sword and was crossing my fingers cutting this 2" thick walnut as a first job on the new setup, just got it running yesterday.

Slab is flattened and cut to size.

Re: Go To Zero

Shawn, just ran that latest file on the machine air cutting, it worked as it should, like you said I must have been setting something up wrong in vectric or cnc12 the first 5 times I tried it.

Thanks

Re: Teknic Clearpath motor and use of the +-Step and +-Direction resistor

Thanks for the heads up Rich, I am just starting to bench test mine now and the cables will be longer than 10ft. Do you have a paired axis? am wondering if the enables need to be jumped on Acorn for running clearpath sdsk. It looks like clearpath has a hard stop squaring that senses motor torque ins...
