Hello; I'm using Mach 2 but keep having tool offset problems when I have a program that uses multiple tools. After I make the tool change (manually), then hit "start", the tool length offset is not added !! Am totally confused ![]() Just before the program request for a tool change, the g-code looks like this example; G49 z2.0 m05 Goo x0.0 y0.0 m06 T02 M03 s3000 etc....... I thought my problem was because my post processor was installing G49 before the tool change, but I think it has something to do with the way I have setup Mach. I've been editing my g-code files manually by removing the "G49" command, before machining, but I don't think this is the proper fix. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Dan |

| G49 is generally used to CANCEL tool length compensation of the tool in spindle before toolchange and then after toolchange you're supposed to put in G43 H2 (if tool no=2) together with the first Z-axis move after toolchange. For example: T4 M06 G0 X0 Y0 S800 M03 G43 H4 Z10. (G43 activates length compensation) hope this can help you, /Thomas |
