I have FlashCut as a retrofit on an old Bridgeport Boss 5.
The setup was pretty easy. However, I'm having problems making sense of the Tool Length Offset.
See ms it should be simple - The old Bridgeport Boss software are was pretty easy.
Can anyone headed to some good examples. I seem to never know where a tool is going to go when I call it up in the program.
Seems a silly question, but it sure has me baffled.
Thanks
Don

Re: Engineer
hopefully you figured it out, but here is what i have.
measure tool length from the nose of the spindle to the end of the tool, enter that as the tool length. when it picks the tool it'll change the size.
i have my touch probe measured and set as tool #100 , i pick that tool,, then i run GCODE to do the xyz program home using tool 100, then after that if i change a tool it'll correct the Z.
