Welcome to CraftyCNC!

CraftyCNC provides tools for the hobby machinist interested in probing or reverse engineering items on their CNC mill or router.

In addition to ProbeIt for use with touch probes, we currently provide number of other useful plugins for UCCNC or a wizard for Mach3.

Probe-It plugin for UCCNC
Probe-It Wizard, a probing wizard add-on for Mach3

The original ProbeIt is a wizard for Mach3 that allows for some CMM like functionality, including probe tip calibration/compensation and recording direct to DXF or CSF data files! The UCCNC version takes that original functionality and builds additional features!

Note: ProbeIt for UCCNC has many more features than ProbeIt for Mach3, which is limited by being a macro based plugin.. The UCCNC version includes a viewer, point cloud and rotary axis features, and a few other items the Mach3 version does NOT have.


ProbeIt for UCCNC, a more powerful plugin version of ProbeIt, written in .NET!

NEW – Plugins for UCCNC !

ProbeIt for UCCNC, a plugin that provides a touch-probe based probing solution (similar to ProbeIt for Mach3, but now for UCCNC and far more powerful. Copy 2D profiles and surfaces to DXF, CSV, and point clouds! )


UCamCopy for UCCNC, a plugin that provides a video camera based probing solution. Copy 2D profiles to DXF and CSV files.


XBox 360 plugin, Velocity control with sticks, customizable buttons, and more.


ProbeCloud plugin, 3D surface digitizing to a CSV file, with contained boundary shape to minimize wasted time!


UCEmailer plugin, Have UCCNC send you an email when it is done or if something happens!

Touch Probes are compatible with all major CNC controls (UCCNC, Mach3, Mach4, LinuxCNC, etc), and are simple to use with a two wire interface to connect to your breakout board. These probes are small, and ideal for your small bench-top machines
