here comes the old dizzy feeling again

Thanks Dave, In truth there is still a little bit of a hard touch on the touch plate, so the slower the feed the softer the touch. My concern is for smaller bits such as PCB Bits breaking under the pressure. I haven't tried any yet and my concern might be unwarranted. I would definitely like a highe...

So here is what I've found, In the Mach standard mill user manual, paragraph, 8.5.1 Common Probing Operation Parameters; 8.5.1.4 Probe Fast FR (Feed Rate) Initial Feed rate to use for all probing operations; I had entered 50 instead of 5 in the entry box. After correcting that, the machine settled d...

I didn't see the second post before I responded to the first. I have never changed the de-bounce since Mach was installed. I had no idea what it was or what it did. The debounce interval is set to zero, the index debounce is also zero. Well I'm on the general configuration page there is a shuttle wh...

Dave, Besides Mach3, the only thing on the computer is Adobe reader, an antivirus program and a little utility called "Mach Pendant", it's an iPad-iPhone app that works wirelessly using the computer IP address so obviously the computer is online. I could do without those additional program...

Just for clarification, the overrun is only in the tool measurement operation

Thanks for responding, yes this is a parallel port system. The Z Acceleration is set as high as I can possibly set it so that the stop is almost instantaneous, that's not a problem because this is on a lead screw (1 start) the IPM is 50. I have lowered it as much as 20,there is overrun at any speed,...

Chris, I've got hope that this problem will get solved. Stay tuned.

A new dimension to this problem. Activating the brain solved the button problem and for a few cycles everything worked well, then the Z feed rate slowed to the point that Z would move about .5 inch then stop with a message that the TP was not found then abort. I Shut down mach, restarted the compute...

Thank you, problem solved. I've got to say I love the title of that paragraph. I am 68, still waiting.
