Title: Mach3 - auto tool zero not working with a certain router bit
Post by: JoonasM on March 26, 2020, 08:50:34 AM

Hey guys, I've been fiddling around with a CNC router for about 3 months now and just stumbled upon a problem.

So every time I try to do auto tool zero with tool number 3 (3mm end mill), it works like a charm. When I try to do it with tool number 4 (6mm ball nose) the machine stops 7-10mm above the plate.

Would love to try your solutions. Cheers.

Nevermind, does that with every tool now. Still need help.

It could be the G31 command in the macro, it needs more Z movement.

Yep, Z movement was set to 200, thanks.
