Today I thought will be the day but again I was not lucky. Got all setup and the dry run went good and then I used the Autozero to set the spindle height and it wasn’t good. Although I have used this probe setup many times before with the same script (shown below) this time the probe behaved erratically.

For example when the script finished the probe will go up and the Z axis DRO will indicate +1.3750 (see attached snip). I don’t know where this number comes from.
Then doing it again and touching the bit with the touch plate (just to see if she will go up) the probe stops for a second then descents for about 1/2" and then will go up to +1.3750

So for now I will forget the probe unless there is a solution

Message( "Auto Zeroing..." )
If IsSuchSignal (22) Then
code "G31 Z-3 F20"
While IsMoving()
Wend
Call SetDRO( 2, .375 )
code "G1 Z1"
End If   

Then I thought to use a piece of paper to set the spindle height manually but I’m not comfortable with this approach because I’m not sure what the code does (shown below partially). I’m only concerned with the Z axis movement since I don’t want it to create any damage and my thinking is:
At N70 Z goes up to 3/4", At N80 Z descents to -.0625, but after I’m not sure what happens. I know that max depth of cut is 1/8” and is done in 2 steps of 1/16” each step, is this what is shown in lines N90 to N170?
