I have done exactly that. and no luck. I thought it might be a check box in settings in Mach?

General Mach Discussion / Re: Plasma Z floating head

« on: May 12, 2018, 12:43:00 AM »

Hello all I have Built a CNC plasma/router. The plasma is my first priority and I am pulling my hair out trying to get the touch off to work. I am cutting a few letters out that is encompassed by an oval to make a plaque.  The program starts out with a probe as it should. it raises up for pierce and delays, it cuts out the first letter. Then it raises the safe Z (.5") rapids to the next letter and probes. rather than zeroing again it raises up around an inch and then starts to cut the letter 1" above the steel. it shows that it is at cut height on the dro but it is not. The next letter it will stair step up even higher and each letter does the some until the z axis runs up to its limit. I have included the first part of the code below to let you see what fusion produced. each contour in the program has this same start to the profile. I am new to Mach so hopefully this is easy. Thanks in advance
