Mach3 asked for the 2nd but I could not place the 2nd tool since I had no z hight. I manually raised the z axis few inches so I could place the 2nd tool. when pressed start cycle, the z axis moved rapidly and crashed into my workpiece. I checked the code line by line and did not see anything unusual. Am I missing anything or doing something wrong?
DID YOU HOME ALL AXIS' BEFORE YOU RAN YOUR FIRST TOOL?
