ToolWall is on a distinguished road
Smile Tool Wall Tool Tracking

Can Tool Wall keep track of extensions/adaptors/arbors as well as dedicated tools?
DP[/QUOTE]

Tool Wall keeps track of all your tools and a tool does not have to be in a holder as long as a number has been assigned to it. You can make or buy a receptacle adapter and you created a trackable item.
For drills it is the same. If you have 4 drills with different length, you create 4 drills in 4 locations. The program remembers which one you need in your code. You even can set a minimum length a drill can have. When the drill was sharpened too often and it became too short for a job, the system will block that drill from being used when called on.
What do you mean by "Dedicated" tool?
A tool that is dedicated to a machine can be set to stay in the machine.
If you mean dedicated to a job: Tool Wall knows which tool you need for each G-Code you want to run.
Each tool in the Tool Wall Data program has a field for "Remarks" and you can put there what ever you want. For example: This drill to be used with a 3" extension.
I hope I answered your questions.
