I thought I had my overload alarms set correctly for overnight operation.
but now machine stops at a drill (1/2 carbide in 6061) and broken tool alarm pops up.
machine stops at end of the drilled hole.(after drilled to depth in sub spindle)

this is how I set alarms.

run machine on auto and record loads.
edit out the tool loads I don't want to monitor
I have been letting the alarm and break set at factory 5 and 10 percent.
I run it overnight anyway but the ability to recognize a broken tool is just another safety valve.

I monitor the load of the sub spindle and the z axis load on that tool.
