    Good day

    Please assist.

    I have a probe on my CNC.
    So in software, selecting right front probe location. The CNC will move more right. The probe works on the front left. not on the back left, back right or front right. Machine moves right 22.5mm and back 22.5mm

    Left front is perfect.

    You ALWAYS put the puck front, left for our wizard
    Then you enter the stock dimensions and it ZEROS to the selected corner by doing the math :)

    As per the onscreen text: "Where is the XY Zero Datum / origin in your CAM setup, relevant (relative? will fix typo) to the Front Left Corner we are probing

    Ie where to set the Origin, not where the probe will happen :)

    For other custom probes, use the Macros tab
