    CNC Touch Off Plate

    I recently made a batch of CNC touchoff plates that have some unique features. Here is the information if anyone is interested.

    Thank you. Yes these are for sale at The Makers Guide - Triple Edge Finder - THE MAKERS GUIDE.

    There is an introductory sale that ends on 04/15/2013 so it's best to get one soon.

    Wasn't sure if there is a support thread for the makers guide but was having a little trouble so just a quick question or two.

    Installed the blue probing screen like the videos but the probe doesn't set the DRO's to zero, I have to manually zero X&Y once the probe has touch the 4 sides and is centered.

    The Z axis will touch off once and then on the second probe will try to drive the probe into the plate.

    Also downloaded version 3.3 of the big-tex screen but the screen loaded thru Mach says 3.2.

    Does this sound like a screen issue, machine setup issue or operator? Have used the standard Z probe with pcb plate under the original mach3 screen with no problems. (maybe need to remove old code.)

    Thanks, John
