I repeat there is no "should" about it and what are you trying to do other than pick holes in software that functions correctly? Read the manual.

Re: M30 Macro

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? You are not correct as there is no "should" about it - Perhaps you mean "I would like to..." M30 designates END of Program and by default, performs no operation. It is therefore understandable that the final lines of your program remain ...

My router has ER25 Collet spindle and I use Swissi's ProbeApp which is configured exactly for this situation. His mfunc6 is setup to match this config along the lines of Shawn's 2nd paragraph above.
