    770M + Passive Probe issues

    Over the last 5-6 "sessions" using my passive Probe, the feedrate on probing actions has incrimentally slowed down to a crawl. Now it is moving about .0001/15 seconds. Needless to say, I don't have all day to zero my setup, so this is a problem.

    I've seen other posts here with similar issues where people say "just change the feed for probing", however... How the heck do you do that?

    I really appreciate any clues, I'm sure you guys can get me going faster than Tormach customer service.

    Thank you in advance,
    -Kevin

    On the lower right side of the probing screen there is a place to enter yourTool 99 and feed rate is just to the right of it I use 20 IPM, I had the same problem in the beginning.

    Awesome! I'm at a Christmas party at the moment but I'm going to try it as soon as I get home!

    Thank you

    Probing will actually use whatever feed you have configured on the main page. I just type in "F800" before I go to probing. (I work in millimeters, this is about 32 in/min rate.)
