That is interesting. One comment is that anything confuses people who do not know what they are doing so that is not a good reason to stay away from something. If a person stayed away from everything that was confusing on first encounter I think they would not learn much.

I spent some time figuring out the advantages and disadvantages of G52 and now find it very useful. I agree that there are a great number of main work offsets available and it is possible to enter them and change them during a cycle with G10 but I am not sure anything is gained doing it this way.

whatever works for you there are a million different ways of programming machines. i am used to trying to keep it as simple as possible and guess i am stuck in the new machine no g code experience mindset for many customers.
