General Mach Discussion / Re: Sometimes Mach just 'goes away'?

Not a pro here but a thought as it sounds like a video conflict.

Do you have onboard video? Have you tried turning off the toolpath display to see if that's it?

Doesn't this mean you just need an insulating layer on your touch plate?

Here is a very helpful thread to read through, at least I "think" this is what you're after?

Pinky, may I ask what type of coolant you're using and what type of cutters?

Are these Onsrud single point type engraving cutters? If so, what kind of pass depths are you achieving?

Thanks again-

You're very welcome, Fred, it's in the menu right at the top of this page under "Support".

Also, they've made many changes visually and functionally in Mach since those videos were made so don't be alarmed if things look a bit different in the videos

Looks good to me, may I ask what you'll be suing it for?

I remember when I first saw the "easy to build cnc" (I knew nothing about anything CNC at the time) and was seriously impressed with the creativity.
