Well I've not even probed anything yet, only tried a 'simulation'.
The line:
G31 Z-10 F100
causes Mach3 to keep lowering the tool position indefinitely - er well I stopped it at -70mm.
I assume that Z should go to -10mm and then stop. Is that correct, or could there be a Mach3 setting or other problem causing this?
G31 on Mach3
Re: G31 on Mach3
You are correct, The machine should stop at Z-10 when probing so I have no idea why its going further (some setting in mach 3 to override this?)
Unless the probe depth setting has been changed by you, the default is -1mm. So the line should be
What version of AL are you using?

Re: G31 on Mach3
I actually think the defaults are ok, the Z-10 was the very first probe. The subsequent depths are -1.
Anyway it does not really matter since the actual probe operation seems to work fine, though so far have only probed and not routed. I really think v0.8 or greater is needed (presently on 0.7.4) since there are 4 distinct g-code files which need levelling. As understood the version I've got cannot do that.
