what software do you recommend for use with this probe?

There's no need for special software, Mach3 can handle it.

Jeff

How?
Can you elaborate please?

Hi Oldraven,

You might want to view this thread. http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,18602.0.html. A lot depends on the version of Mach3 that you are using.

Hi Vicrider,

The thread you referred too did not help me very much.
My probe does work in Mach3, I see ithe probe LED go on and off when I touch the probe pin.

After the afternoon google-ing I found the Mach3 Probe Screen from Hossmachine.
He even had a screen for Metric.

That did the trick.
It works so far good for me.

thanks for the reply,

FYI - For probing support I suggest that you check out MachStdMill at www.CalypsoVentures.com
There are videos of many of the built in probing operations on the web site.
I think MSM is the best probing package avail for mach- but I'm slightly biased as the software's author.

Hi Dave,

I have seen your home page and looked at the video's.

I am not certain of this works with Metric. I see the word " inch " on several pages.

Is the Probing function also operational in the Personal Edition?

The screens look very good.

Jos,
All probe operations work in either megric or imperial units for MSM.  I am in the US and use an imperial machime and that is what I made the videos with. Probing support is a feature of the Pro edition.
you can try the full pro versin  for 30 days - so feel free give it a spin to see how  to you like it.
