Why not make the z height plate built into the base of center finder? Use a pin like you have been doing, but don't make it protrude through the base into the copper pipe. Then you can center your hole, and z touch off all in one tool, instead of switching. :)
@diyengineer You can absolutely do that....In fact, I mention just that, by saying you can measure the height of the entire probe, then simply touch at the top of the copper pipe...
This was very informative to me as i am a newbee to cnc routing. Thank you fro the help. I was wondering how to center my machine... Where do you connect the other end of the probes? I may have missed that part.
@musicmaneman1 The other end of the probe connects to my CNC controller's break out board. I use a pin on the breakout port which is not being used for control, and then I simply map that pin in mach3. When the pin goes high, mach3 detects it, and acts accordingly, like in my video.
@holman26 LOL!! Yo uhad me laughing with this one....I am sure you meant HOSE and not Hoes...Very different....And yes, waiting for some parts, and then I will do a video of that as well....
