I have mach3 and added the 2010 screenset and it worked great until recently. Now after going through the routine to zero my "Z" axis by touching the plate on top of the board to be cut, then the plate in the table top the "Z" axis is set but when I click cycle start the router is trying to cut 2 inches above the board. Can some one help?

Make sure there are no tool lengths in your tool table if there's a G43 in your g-code.

Are you sure Z zero is correct before running the code?

It depends on which screenset it is.
Generally, there's a .set file that goes in the Mach3 folder.
And there are images that go into \Mach\bitmaps\, or a folder inside that folder.

I received a reply about the issue and removed the length from the bit data base and that solved the problem.

Hi, I have an issue with leaving use safe z checked.

Once a refall home and then hit park or toolchange my z always wants to go up until it eventually triggers my Z limit switch. If I uncheck use safe z and try park or toolchange it moves to it, no issue. (my park and toolchange are set to the same coordinates(x +4.5 y +14 z -0.5) The top my Z is 0 and bottom is -4.5.

So not sure if I have a setting wrong somewhere? what is safe z doing? are there settings for it?

Go to Config > Safe Z, and set it to use Machine Coordinates, and somewhere between 0 and -0.5
