Is all the wiring in good condition and all connectors secure?
Is the machine mechanically sound, well-adjuted, and if applicable well-lubricated?
Which sort of probing are you using? See:
Here is how I check out the functionality of the machine/BitZero:
first check that you have sent the correct Z-axis configuration
This can be easily done by jogging down to the wasteboard surface, setting zero, then using the Rapid Position command to lift 6mm above the current zero — measure how much the machine moved — if it’s wrong:
go to the MDI and send $$ and check that the Z-axis steps/mm match your machine setup:
Belt-drive: 40
Z-Plus: 200
HDZ: 320
c.f.,
Then, clamp a sui…

If you continue to have difficulties, post a .c2d file, step-by-step notes on how you are securing your stock and setting zero relative to it and managing all tool changes.
