There are apparently bugs in Mach3 which currently prohibit any other methods.

Does anyone have an update on these bugs, are they going to be fixed? can we roll back to a version prior to these bugs?

CS-Lab / Probing with IP-A

I'm having problems probing with the ip-a. Has anyone done any probing with a cs lab product?

Hi Eric, This sounds like this is just what I'm after.
Using this wizard is it possible to probe the outside of an object, and also the inside of a few pockets and save to the same DXF? For example if I wanted to probe a ring spanner and created on single DXF with the outside edge of the spanner and the shape of the internal rings at the end??

2D probing would also be very handy

Ideally I'm looking for some way to probe a part to create DXF for STL file, is this possible?

The creeping issue I think was mainly my lack of understand on the software interface. I have since learned that the value for offset, may not be the actually value saved. You can type a value in two 3 decimal places, and click apply, and it does save. Simply with playing with this value I resolved my problem.

Yesterday I spent the afternoon cleaning out the sump where all the coolant is kept, There must have been an inch of 20 year old crud in the bottom  Not the nicest of jobs.

Can anyone recommend a coolant fluid?

I've had a few days off this as the wife has had me decorating the kids rooms. I've now managed to stop the motor creeping so I can now start with the tuning. Hopefully I'll get this cracked on the weekend so I can then move on to the VFD for the spindle motor
