for a temporary setup you could tie wrap an actuator to the top of the spindle

Andy, if you're worried about identifying the wires in the loom, just run the existing wire from the sensor into the case

General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach 3 wants to start much lower than ZERO, tool offset IS turned off

Back in business!!!!  Taking that G43 out of the vectric mach3 post processor header did it.   I actually edited the .pp file to prevent G43 from getting put in ever again.

does vectric call a toolchange at the start of the code, and set an offset. ?

Had to be there somewhere

is the z axis going the right way, + up and - down

can you put the first dozen or so lines of code up. When Hood gets on here he'll look at your xml, so it might be worth posting that.
