    My machine is nearly completed and working very well, thankful for all the help I have received here and the excellent free software.

    I have just enabled Torch touch off in the post processor and tried my first job. I was previously manually doing a Z Probe to set the torch height and leaving the torch down for the job.

    When I run a job the torch probes at the start of the job and does the first cut, it then moves to the second cut and does another touch off but the job halts as soon as the Z probe switch is triggered.

    Is this a setting in Openbuilds that I can adjust? I have looked but can't see it anywhere.

    Cheers
    Matt.

    Perhaps running an older X32 but skipped Sections 7.1 and 7.2 of the BlackBox Documentation?

    maybe you are not proboing far enough and when it hits a low spot it gets tot he end of the probe command before it hits the switch?
