    Re: touch probe not working

    That is what I think also. When I was playing with the offsets I'm sure it saved a Z position that is giving me fits. For the last three years I have moved the spindle to the datum position, after...

    collet sticking.

    ArtCAM vs Aspire

    There are a lot of free versions of ArtCAm on the web. Is it worth it getting one since it is no longer made or supported? How does it compare to Aspire and is it best to just go with Aspire?
