Thanks -- I imagine this will be helpful to anyone with a similar system. the only thing that comes to mind is that the time emc spends on the "Z" motion had better be long enough for the solenoid to completely lower -- does this take long on your machine, or does it snap right down to the right d

In case anyone else has one of these PCB mills with the solenoid driven floating Z, I thought I would share my configuration changes.  The premise I worked with was that if I could take the commanded Z position and convert it to a bit output to my solenoid relay I could use the standard drill and m
