Very nice video Nicolas - I like to tool store on the rear of the X Axis
The Probing script I posted was only for trial use as it operates in a different way to the one you were already using and was intended just to try and identify the problem.
As Sage mentioned, the auto tool probing scripts have advanced as Mach revisions have occurred so the one you currently have may not be the most reliable - you may want to update this at a later stage.
Good fortune with machining aluminium - a router is not really a suitable tool compared with a mill when it comes to metals (it's a rigidity issue as well as coolant and chip clearance) but nonetheless it still has to be tried.
Tweakie.
