General Mach Discussion / z height and machine 'parking" - mach3
« on: January 24, 2019, 03:58:40 PM »
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
