    Hi,

    Hoping that things start working correctly with my workbee, as I'm trying to use the probe, I positioned it correctly, had my 1/4" enmill hover over the probes hole, put the magnet on the endmill, chose the probe option on my interface module, chose the "Probe XYZ-Zero" option and the the endmill goes -Y pass the probe, goes down in -Z and doesn't stop untill I panic and stop the process.... Can someone help?

    1) Are you sure you are jogging is going the right direction? (x- moves endmill to the left of the stock, y- moves endmill forward to front edge / toward you)
    2) Steps per mm calibrated

    usually probe moves Y+ first, the fact its moving the wrong way round...

    Ok, so I went to the GRBL Settings, chose the $3 parameter of Step direction invert and chose Invert Y Direction. It did the trick although I had never touched this, but, no matter. It works. Thanks Peter.... Again!
