I'm not sure what is happening behind the scenes but under Pathpilot you can configure G30 to only move in Z. I've used that feature for years without realizing that it was non-standard. From the Tormach manual:
Go to G30 Button - Causes the mill to move to a pre-defined G30 position, and is equivalent to typing G30 in the MDI Line. This G30 position can be set using the Set G30 button on the Offsets tab. Operators familiar with M998 will notice that the behavior of G30 is identical to M998. By default, the move to the G30 position is in Z only. This can be changed on the Settings tab. > -----Original Message----- > From: John Dammeyer [mailto:jo...@autoartisans.com] > Sent: Tuesday, September 24, 2019 6:54 PM > To: 'Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC)' > Subject: Re: [Emc-users] G-Code issue with IJ > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Ken Strauss [mailto:ken.stra...@gmail.com] > > > > My G30 is setup to move in Z only. > > I'm a bit confused here then. > http://linuxcnc.org/docs/2.6/html/gcode/gcode.html#sec:G30-G30_1 > > > This goes at max speed to Z 0.5 which makes sense. > G0 Z 0.5000 (Z Clear) > > This part is also clear. > M9 (Coolant OFF) > M5 (Spindle OFF) > > This moves only the Z axis?
