I don't think M30 does anything different that M2 so I prefer to use M2. > But this all depends on a way to do a touch-off in gcode, including > clearing it back to zero so G53 and G54 are again equal.

Cheers, Gene Heskett I'm just suggesting that you run a touch off program to "set up" your coordinate system then run your part program and let it clear any offsets at the end. This way when you open the program the preview and backplot will match.
I would love to see a photo of that machine! JT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
