So I just finished Z-mod kit, (but I didn't have to change any settings as I already had an upper Z-Proximity switch) and now when I do a "Spacebar" Pause, X,Y and Spindle STOP, but spindle doesn't retract to Safe-Z?
Before I do a UR, what other things should I be checking? I'd just like to know why it started doing this. USB is back in the original slot--No comm problems--no static or surge noticed--no settings were changed:confused:
Any ideas?

Scott Just guessing here
check VL High Z set to 5.5"
FL Limits ON
VN limits ON
VN input#3 1-Norm open , the rest of my input sw are set to 0-standard sw
did you do a C3 ?
maybe reload firmware

Thanks Bob, Just going out now, and I'll check those settings.
Yep, Had C3'd a dozen times, but hadn't done a "spacebar" Pause until yesterday. Just wanted to see what had "shifted" on me. Probably do a UR and update firmware if the settings don't solve it. Using a surfacing bit yesterday to check spindle alignment after doing Z-Mod and the quality of cut was as good or better than before the Mod:)

Thanks Bob, I'd left machine on all night(spindle power off) so nothing had changed.
VL highZ was set at 8"(?) and I've never touched it--changed to 5.5" and did a couple air-cuts and that did it!
She's been running fine all day now.:)
Thanks,
scott
