    What am I doing wrong

    Hi, when using one of the Newfangled Solutions Wizards before going to the wizard I zero the X,Y and Z to the fixture that I want to mill, after filling all the needed parameters and pressing the Post Code button and Exit I am back to the Mach3 screen.

    Then when I press he Cycle start button the spindle moves up, but to far up and I have to move the Z back to the fixture again rezero it another time, if for some reason or another I have to move the spindle in another spot I only have to rezero the X and Y the Z is OK.
    Hoping to be clear enough
    Thank you

    Hi, thank you for the reply, is there a way to avoid that G43 from happening other than edit the file every time I use a different wizard and where those the wizard get the length of the tool I don’t recall entering any length of any tool

    I don't have a Newfangled License, so can't really help you with that. What does the code look like?
