Just starting to learn GCode, one thing I'm a bit confused about is tool sizes and tool change commands.
Am I correct in assuming that GCode doesn't actually do/know anything about tool sizes? It appears to me that the GCode itself just tells the controlling software to use a tool "ID" and its up to the software to associate that ID with a diameter/type (its own tool table) and calculate all the correct offsets etc. Is that correct? |
