    MC9 with EMC2 lathe PP tool setup

    I am trying to edit a PP to work with EMC2 lathe, EMC does not want tool selection like standard CNC lathe, it want "T1M6" like a mill. can anybody help walk me through what to change in the MPFan.pst to make it select tools this way. Its not a big deal to edit the prog before I run it, but it would be nice if I didnt have to !

    TIA !!

    Would it work to take out the ltlchg and rename the mltlchg and edit that somehow ?

    Todat I founr that the PP also adds G28 "U#" and "W#" which EMC2 does not like on multiple tool progs, so I need to figure out how to remove those to.
