I beg to differ, I can jog all axis X, Y, Z, at the same time using the keyboard.

Hi,
I am no expert at this but it looks like the code tells the tool to raise to 10mm above your gage block height ,  try increasing the 10 to 20 or 30.
Also the code is in Metric not inches.

Hi,
I Don't know if you have sorted this by now, but you just need to put the .dat file in your Mach 3 folder, Mach will find it next time it runs and all should be good.

Hi,
I have not done it myself yet, but on watching the tutorials for Aspire you need to set Z zero to the centre of your A axis, not the top of the part.

Yes the 2010 set can use 1 or 2 plates. There are plenty of scripts available for the standard screenset auto zero button if you search on the forum.
I would have thought that the Big-tex screen set has this built in, as I believe that the scripts in the 2010 screenset are derived from, but modified versions of Big-tex scripts.
Google 2010 screen set and take a look at the demo's on the site, I love it, it makes life so easy.>

It has to be that 24mm Z setting from Aspire, try setting Zero as you have been, then type in the Z DRO 24, press enter and run the code
WITHOUT ANY MATERIAL ON THE MILL!!!! see what happens.

Hi,
I don't use tool offsets, with the 2010 screen set it is so easy to just change the tool, press the button and let the software sort all that out
Should enter 45 in the Z DRO on the run screen, that tells the machine is currently sitting on your setting block 45mm above the stock surface.

It seems to be that Z24 setting that Aspire is outputting, when you set up the job in Aspire are you setting Z0 as top of stock?
Not familiar with Big tex screenset but the way you are doing things you need to put the 45 in the Z DRO on the run screen,
so you have X0, Y0 Z45

So if you set the tool on your block and then put 45 in the Z DRO and press enter move the tool away from the job and MDI Z0 what height does the tool end up at, stock surface or higher or lower? if not at stock surface how much is out?
