How could i measure accuracy of Z travel without cutting something?
I had a z depth go farther than it should have and i cant figure out why?
Tool paths look ok zeros were correct.
Im still making adjustments to the eccentric to lock things in.
A dial indicator is a very nice tool to have. This will read the depth that the head moves if you set the plunger parallel to the z-axis.
Here is the cheap set I use. It works for my purposes.
with a magnetic base:
PS- A dumb mistake I made a little while ago was to use my probe wrong when zeroing my z. I still had it on the corner and it plunged deeper than I was wanting. Just in case you did the same thing take a look at the diagram for how to do a z-probe.

This works great, very easy. I’m biased though
