if you place a tool you want as T1 into Pot#1, which actually contains T15,
but Pot#3 actually contained the T1, and you MDI <T1>, the tool in Pot#3 is what is brought into the machine.
the tool that is returned to the caurosel is put into the closest empty pot
When loading tools, always compare the Tool # to Pot # on the "Tool Set" page before loading |
right.....but why 99% of the time when i load tools in through the side door in the pockets i want ( t1 in pocket 1 etc.) and leave the turret in what ever postion its in after loading all tools, the machine will still give me t1 when called up with mdi ........this time it didn't? just wondering what caused it so ill know what to look for.
i personally like loading tools in through the spindle but the brass does not.
