WinCNC Tool Setup
Evening all, Hope all is well??
I have aquired an Exelcnc 1224hd atc running WinCNC. As a veteran of Mach 3 and a non ATC machine I have hit a hurdle that in my mind is very simple to sort just i cannot transpose it with wincnc,
I am confused onto how i set up the tool changer, I have a milling machine with an ATC that i can zero each tool in to the work peice and i dont have to worry.
where as the win cnc i zero'd each tool but it doesnt seem to save the heights.
I have added an 18mm spoilboard so I need to zero that as my zero but how do i then get it to measure the tools?? I have a tool pad for the tools to touch off but i dont have a clue, all instructions that have come with the machine do not mention anything about setting up my tools.
Any help will be greatly received thank you
regards Tom

1. Touch with the tool the surface of workpiece.
2. Set tool length = height of the workpiece.
3. Check the tool tip against the table surface = 0.
