Mach3 Auto Tool Zero

This document provides instructions for automatically zeroing a tool using a probe in Mach3. It gets the current feed rate, checks if the probe is grounded, zeros the Z-axis, moves the probe down to detect contact and get the Z position, returns to that position, updates the Z-axis DRO reading, retracts the tool, and returns the feed rate while displaying status messages.
