General Mach Discussion / Re: z height and machine 'parking" - mach3
« on: January 28, 2019, 05:05:09 AM »
it's set up that way. everything works as it should. i'm just trying to find out if there is a setting to have the tool offset from zero when it goes home. similar to safe z where it lifts to a safe height then travels. instead of lowering back down when it gets to its home, it just stays at that (safe) height. I don't recall which one i have it set to right now, but i did try them all and didn't do what i am looking for.

I have tried setting the safe z but it still lowers to its zero location and saying safe z ignored, z already higher than safe z setting. doesn't make sense.

General Mach Discussion / z height and machine 'parking" - mach3

Hello,

I am trying to figure out how to adjust a  z height setting.  Instead of the machine lowering the spindle when it goes to soft home. i would like it to lower to a certain height(ex. 1.25"). In my software prefer to set up my jobs to surface to table rather than the material itself. If i were to do so with the way it is now the bit plunges into the material after completion and going to home.  If that's not possible in mach3 what about using the machine coordinates and setting up the machine to "park" in the back of the machine with the z raised instead of going home.

Thank you,

Mike
