Just switched over from Mach2 to Mach3. The transition went well. Nice product.
I just feel so dumb. I want a Z axis touch plate . The router will lower itself, by pressing a key or clicking a button, until the grounded router bit touches a plate that is an input bit to Mach3. After doing this it will zero the Z DRO (minus the thickness of the touch plate) and then raise itself to a safe distance so I can attach my vacuum attachment and remove the touch plate.
Is this included in Mach3? Is this the “Gauge Block” in the Offsets tab? I don’t mind writing Vbasic code, but it seems like it should be easier. I have watched the videos and searched the Wiki, but I am lost.
I know this has been covered before....
