Drill file moving at Z0.0000 axis. #drill


 
Edited

Hello,
I seemed to be keep getting this issue and it was never addressed as I just fix this with a wordpad and replace the Z axis movement but for awhile now I forgot to do this and when I ran it, it ended up scratching the pcb board.
This happens with the top drill file. After finishing the etch, I change the tool and run the drill and at some point, the Z axis goes to Z0.0000 and move back to home position and along the way it scratches the board.
I used to just substitute all Z0.0000 to Z0.1000 as the last movement from drilling is to move it to Z0.1000 height. Using 3.6.2.4.

G00 Z0.1000?
G00 X2.9500 Y1.3500?
G01 Z-0.0750 F10.00?
G00 Z0.1000?
G00 X2.9500 Y1.6500?
G01 Z-0.0750 F10.00?
G00 Z0.1000?

G00 Z0.0000 <=== issue. Using find/replace in notepad to G00.Z0.1000
G00 X0.0000 Y0.0000?

What is your tool change position z set to?

The G00 Z0.0000 is kind of scary, and I think it that should be the tool change position, such as 1.0000 inches so you can change the tool.

Page 9 in the manual.
