Greetings, strange issue, while probing XYZ, Z registered as normal, while probing X the bit touched, moved the block 1/2" or so before registering, then Y probed correctly. Tried it several times rebooting in between. Bit is 1/4" 90 degree Vbit, which has registered fine in the past. Any ideas or help would be welcome! Thanks in advance…

Yep, NEVER use a Vbit to register X or Y. Use a straight cutting endmill ONLY.

Thanks! The odd thing is it’s worked twice before with the same bit. Odd…thanks very much!,
