Thanks guys. I'll have to keep doing it the way I have been already I guess.
I like the idea of using variables Hardmill. My machine doesn't like G92 at the moment unfortunately, but I'l look at that. I'll be setting up some quick change set-ups on the machine, and when we have these I might set a bunch of home positions using variables to store them. This way if we have to work on the machine, and the positions change, it's only a matter of resetting 2 variables and we are away again. Cool idea, thanks.
Here's another question. The tool diameter offset has to be input as a radius. Is there a parameter or something in the controller to convert this to a diameter. Another HAAS thing I'm used to. It saves having to think too much when adjusting offset diameters as well.
Thanks in advance again
