Probe not stopping and damaging/breaking bit on touch probe

2

Hey Jonathan,

since using the touch plate means closing an electrical contact, the error must be in the connection. You could

  1. make sure the the inside of the taper in the collet is clean of any baked wood dust
  2. same for the bit shank
  3. the connector at the CNC controller has no error (unfortunately these Molex/Amphenol connectors only have tin-plated contact and the plating is thin, so after exposing the bare copper of the contact to air, there could be corrosion); also the crimp could be unsatisfying or have become loose
  4. the magnet end and the banana plug end of the cables have no strain relief and the cables are known to internally break after a certain time; you can get replacement at Onefinity or at the manufacturer Triquetra
