I have often thought about this as well. Unfortunately PlasmaC doesn't know about jobs, only cuts.

I wonder what happens in HAL when you do a M30 or M2?

In fact, I wonder if you could sense the end of a job by looking for a change in motion.motion-type from non zero to zero?
It really is a pain in the wet arse!

I am using a different float setup on new machines, so the float has to travel 7mm to trip the switch + 2mm of overrun, them move up the full length plus pierce height, so that makes 12mm of retract travel on every probe

Tommy, can you add a set screw adjuster to take up the slack? best thing I ever did by allowing me to adjust out the switch hysteresis.

remind me to share a photo

Consider yourself reminded!
Photos of your Z axis ? I have seen those, more than once!

I thought you'd lknow better than to remind somebody at 10:30 pm after a bottle of wine. think I should blame Phill for teaching me bad habits!
