I will have a look, any recomendations as to what it should be set at? also while your on, for some reason when I type z10 to move the z axis, sometimes it moves in a diagonal motion with the z axis...

as above ive downloaded and installed the latest tng software and its just doing its own thing from not remembering the tool height to going in a diagonal direction when ive inputted a z value

My mate took the machine to his to see if he could start setting the new pc (purpose bought...
