    Default Posting is showing T code twice in one operation

    (FEATURE MILL FACING - FACING)
    ( FIRST CUT - FIRST TOOL)
    N05 T6 M06 (2 FACE MILL)
    N06 T1
    N07 G54 G90
    N08 G00 X-4.6024 Y6.0002 S3500 M03
    N09 G43 H6 Z1.

    why is this showing Tool 6, then on the next line it shows T1.

    Very confused.

    N06 T1 is pre-staging next tool? If, you have a Auto Tool Changer. Fadal's use T-1

    This is called tool pre-staging.

    M6 is actually the toolchange
    The T is placing the tool in the magazine exchange position.

    Obviously you have not run the code in the machine.
    T6 M6 readies and then places the tool into the spindle
    T1 then readies the next tool while the machine is using the T6.

    This programming method is not suitable where tool is exchanged by the spindle into the carousel (tree) type magazine or a tool rack. Your machine should have a toolchange arm that holds 2 tools.

    It would depend on your control and machine if it has pre staging of the next tool

    If this is not what you want then it needs to be changed in the Postprocessor or choose another post processor that does not add the T1 you can also delete that line by editing your program

    Thanks guys. That makes sense. Since we updated the software we have seen some odd changes in the code.
