General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach3 is tool z lifts when running code. Tool does not touch work.

had a quick look to the GRBL G-Code list. G17/G18 are not included, so they are ignored i think.

it may depend on the G17 G18 plane selection.
those make IMHO only sense in combination with G40-G42.
but as sayed, i am a G-code specialist.
i never used somthing else than G17.

i am not the G-Code spezialist, but the begin of your code look's a bit courious for me:

(Face2)
S1000 M3
G0 X31.95 Y-39.743
Z15
G1 Z5 F175
Z0.3 F33.3
G18 G3 X31.65 Z0 I-0.3 K0 F175
G1 X31.51
X-31.51
G17 G2 X-31.51 Y-38.002 I0 J0.87
...

i would do this in this way:

(Face2)
S1000 M3
G0 Z15
G0 X31.51 Y-39.743
G1 Z0 F175
G1 X-31.51
G2 X-31.51 Y-38.002 I0 J0.87
...


first lift Z-axis then go to startpoint then lower Z-Axis ...

ok,then it is a simple PP breakout board, no motion controller.

you are using Ref. Z button on diagnostic page to start the test
the z-axis seperate?
home, homing and reference are a little mixed up terms in Mach.

individual inputs would be the better choice, if you have enough free inputs.

maybe your code uses a work piece offset G54 ..
or a M6 is included and it activates tool length offset.

without seeing the G-code it is hard to say.
