    Hi Tom,

    Thanks for the quick response. You are correct, the plan is to probe in Z for an X Y array of points. The file type can be a simple .txt that has the X, Y, Z coordinates for each point...

    Re: KMotionCNC Rev 434e Freezing

    This I do not know. Didn't think about the USB. I will give it a try. Unfortunately I don't know what triggers the problem so it may take some time to test. I will certainly install ver.434f. Best...

    I couldn't really say but it seams that the rotation is based on the center of the rotational axis and moves so slow it is burning the material. When cut with Mach3 without the motion control board,...
