General Mach Discussion / Re: Tool Zeroing

« on: November 28, 2011, 11:48:11 AM »

Hi NormB,

If you are lucky and the tool is already at GND potential then you only need the one lead, connected to the copper plate. This lead is connected to any spare input and configured within Mach as the Probe. There are numerous macro's for the auto tool zero button and you just choose which one best suits you.

If it is any help, the way I have implemented it is shown in the bottom half of this page. http://www.cooperman.talktalk.net/files/17.htm

Sorry Dave - perhaps I am not quite as white as white. 

Incidentally, my CNC programmed car park cards were a real hit last month.

Come on Dave, keep up 

They fit in place of the coin but have been specially designed (for our sort of trolleys) so that they can be weaselled out and this lets you become a real vandal and set free all the trolleys that have been imprisoned in the trolley park.

I expect we all do it, I have many times - arrived at the supermarket and found I have no coin for the trolley. 

I have just cut out a few of these from frosted acrylic, as incidental gifts for friends at Christmas, not sure what to engrave on them yet but hey - tomorrow is another day and something will come to mind.

Nice one Sam.

Like here in the UK - the discount prices always come up when any spare money has already been allocated, by her indoors, for Christmas.
