So it's ok to use third party probes now, without any consequences ?

[ez3022]

I cannot speak for Tormach but I doubt there was ever an issue with using a 3rd party probe. The issue was in giving the user access to low level Mach settings in order to modify the Tormach supported Mach config in order to reverse the probe sense.

In order to gain access to the probe sense setting you had to sign a waiver indicating that you understood the risks involved and that Tormach MAY not be able, or willing, to provide support as a result. Now that the new PCNCconfig for the 1100 supports toggling the probe sense just like the PCNC770, without opening access to the plethora of other settings, no waiver is required it seems so no support or waiver issue any longer.

If you have any concerns I'd call Tormach to get an answer before pushing the button. I 'waived' my life away a week before they released this. Bummer.

I "waived" support on my mill right after purchase by disassembling and re-assembling it and still got excellent support. My approach to problems has been to ask for help in troubleshooting and to look for reasonable solutions. I expect that the solution will sometimes mean that I need to spend more money, especially if I've done something to cause the problem.
