General Mach Discussion / Re: "probe tip diameter is invalid"

Yes,  I am using the Tormach provided version of Mach3.  I thought they were pretty similar with some addons and pre-configed for Tormach.

As for the special screen you are talking about, is it the offset screen?  If so... the offset screen still updates the tool table... right?  Tormach recommends using Tool #99 for probe but you can pretty much use any # you wish.

Thanks for your help... I might have to give Tormach a call... was hoping to get it working tonight.

General Mach Discussion / "probe tip diameter is invalid"

« on: January 10, 2011, 07:55:53 PM »

Hi,

Been using Mach3 for many years first with a Taig and recently with a Tormach.  I recently purchased a used Marposs Probe to replace an econo probe I had for years.  The Marposs probe came with a probe tip that is 0.2755" dia.  But when I put input this into tool #99, the message of "probe tip diameter is invalid " comes up when I try to probe the vise.  I can probe X, Y or Z just fine but not the vise.  Can anyone help?

Thanks!
