Mach3 Offsets - X, Y and Z axis tool and position probing - Customizing your own user interface

#Mach3 #DIYCNCMill #3018CNC #Fusion360 #Tutorials Here&the link to download the 3D CAD model of the probe plate and the scripts that are used in this video: After the incident happened in my last video when I lost the X and Y position while milling, I decided that I need to have a setup that will let me recover the coordinates on all axis without using any reference from the stock. I designed a simple probe plate that you can mill from a piece of Aluminum. Any metal rod that is straight and round can be used as probe (in my case, I use a shank of a broken bit with diameter of 4mm). Just remember to use the same probe for when getting and setting the offset values then the diameter of the probe is not a factor that will affect the process and you can forget about it. The 2 scripts for probing the Z axis zero, I download them from a forum that I can&remember the link so I can only thank the developer here. I wrote 4 scripts myself after reading other people&scripts and learned a bit about macro language of Mach3 from them. I only spent a few hours to developed and programmed all of this so I&sure you can do it easily. With the appropriated work flow, you won&need to worry about losing your working coordinate anymore. You can always recover the X, Y and Z axis zero very easily.
