I just set up the new machine and updated the firm ware. I cut a 32.5” x 32.5” MDF spoil board and centered it in the machine, 1” setback from the front of the Y gantry edge. After homing I place the touch probe on the corner of the waste board, center a 1/4 bit a couple of mm over the probe and h…

The XYZ probe is only for the bottom left, you cannot use it for the center (so it’s assuming your in bottom left). You’ll need to use the eyeball method for that.

I have updated the post to include pictures of the spoil board spacing and touch probe placement at the bottom left corner of the machine.

Maybe it’s the size of the waste board at 32.5"? I’ll go cut the spoil board down to 32.25 and try again.

Is the file set for xy zero center or bottom left? Check it’s not center.

I only have the onefinity test file in the drop down. I just cut the waste board down to 32” and I think it’s working. It slammed home a little hard after the probe, but I didn’t have any errors. Going to try to flatten the wasteboard and see what happens.

My companion software will allow you to place your touch plate normally (Left Front Corner) and have a resulting Origin (XYZ Zero located anywhere your spindle can reach. This also includes zeroing to the center of a circle. You can also use the touch plate on the right corner and have a right front…

Ryan, Is the file your trying to cut set for zero in the center of the board or the bottom left for xy zero in the program, not on the machine?

I’m not even cutting a file yet. The file I will be cutting starts at the lower left, which is why I’m attempting to use the touch probe in the lower left corner. I’m just following the videos I’ve seen and doing a very small number of steps before hitting an issue. What I’m attempting to do is: …

If your cutting the maximum extremes, you can’t use the touch probe because after it probes it will jog the bit to the front left…but since your probing the extreme there is no room for it to return to the front left. Try zeroing without the probe.
