Manufacturing & Assembly / Re: LPKF Protomat S42: Machine "shock absorber"/"stroke limiter" tuning
« Last post by rsaxvc on Today at 01:43:54 am »> It seems that Your tool bit may be the wrong length.
That is such a a better explanation! I think I was thrown off because my machine came with a 2.95mm bit, but perhaps it is not "the" 2.95mm reference bit, which could long enough to drill into the reference strips without undoing the Z stage stroke limiter.
Say, is there any chance you would mind dimensioning an LPKF "special drill for reference drilling" bit if you've got one? I couldn't find it in LPKF's catalog.

I believe S42 was of the last to be used with the older Boardmaster software I have, and even has manual Z stage adjustment via a large screw that adjusts the bit relative to a plastic foot, and no software Z controls other than down-time.
Thank you for your help with this.
