Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Manual touch plate probing after manual tool change

After the cycle is stopped in the m6 mach is then in a jogable state, you can then jog around as much as you like. before pressing cycle start again you must put your Z at a safe hight.
I have only tried this on the sim so cannot say how it will go with variables or anything else.

For what its worth.....
I do this on a Bridgeport Series II here in the shop. It only has 4" of Z Axis travel without moving the Knee, so I will sometimes have to jog left or right to be able to change longer tools. It always goes to G53 Z0.00, so hitting cylce start again has never been an issue (as long as your code moves to X and Y position first).
