« on: November 19, 2009, 02:34:32 PM »
when my z axis is plunging into the matterial it goes to the max z depth for the entire piece and either locks up the whole machine or drags my piece of wood with it  does anyone have any ideas as to what it could be

so what depth is it going down to?
Also if you want to attach your code and xml I can have a look with your settings. To attach you use the additional options button on the reply page. You will likely have to copy and rename your xml for the forum to accept it.

Just tried with your xml and it seems fine, first move on Z is to 0.1 then it goes down to -0.2

What are you seeing for Z moves?

we place the z on the or right above the piece of wood and zeroing it. then when we start to run the gcode  it just dives right down to -0.2
