Couple things to check before we start measure the travel u have in your floating head from when the switch triggers to when the head stops going down . I don't have a thc at the moment either but my setup auto zeros the head at every pierce

Hi shoar I wound up just splicing the two wires from the trigger to the spindle relay on the breakout board seem to work great .
Make sure ur spindle output is enabled in mach3 first and rest it before u hook up plasma you should hear it click on and off
When you click the torch fire button on the Mach screen .
As for the return height issue I'm using sheetcam for my g code generator and I use the mp1000 with scribe post processor
And I have a floating head on Z axis you just need to do a bit of editing on cut and pierce heights and you can set ur safe return height
In sheetcam aswell
