Hi Dave, I still haven't gotten my head around how the values for probe length, workpiece surface offset from machine home and toolsetter height from mill table are all handled. Every time I look at the code my head starts to spin. At the moment I have screwed up enough of the psng code that nothing works right. And I don't want to install the original because of the one bug that shattered my first probe.
Figuring this all out is on my list of 42 projects...
