today i drafted a discussion paper on tool height offset methods

[Black Forest]

it does seem like UK users are somewhat second best when it comes to help on here....

Be honest with yourself. UK people are at least second best no matter where they go. Not just on here!

There are a lot of UK and European users on here and they get help just as fast as USA users. Maybe you are not taking into account the time difference. Often I get help even on Sundays from staff at Centroid. For sure with Suntravel any time of the day or night. He is in Germany as am I.

I have a knob question. Page one says to set "CNC12 parameter #4 = 6". CNC12 config/parameters #4 is file load options on my CNC12 v5.10. Is there some other parameter options I'm missing?

jee whiz... fixing now.. yes Parameter 3 is the one we want to use. you can read more about parameter 3 and how bit wise parameters work in the operator manuals as well.

[cnckeith]

Parameter 3 is also set by the Wizard in the tool touch off menu.

ok i fixed the typos and added a page about the Wizard TT menu where you can select which method you want to use as well.

I can't seem to finish the Tool Height Setter sequence. I have attached a link with the videos showing what keeps happening. Does anyone have any experience with this happening? https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... 7nQH_lSHFF

I noticed you're running an AvidCNC machine. Avid has their own methods of homing and setting their tool height.
Here's a video that goes over that:

since have a custom avidcnc machine, you are welcome to install Centroid CNC12 if you'd like to deviate from Avid's method's

i found your avid post with related information
