current axis position
are there machine variables that have the current axis positions that i can access from gcode? #5061 #5062 ---etc give the probe impact value but i want the value at program start and after a move.
I have some irregular stock (reclaimed machinable wax) i want to machine it to a standard thickness. so i am trying to write a program that starts with the z axis zeroed to the bottom of the stock and the tool setting at the z-max of the stock. i want to run a surfacing pattern in a loop stepping z until i get to the pre set thickness.
this is simple to do if i can read the current position in the gcode.
where in the documentation would i likely find this information?
