It certainly _can_ be done that way, but I see no reason to preclude doing it a different way. And (as delivered) LinuxCNC does not handle T11 to mean anything other than Tool 11. If you allow more than one tool in one pocket then you can use M6 T1 G43 / M6 T2 G43 to get the same tool, same pocket, different edge, without having to remember where you kept the second-edge offset (or, more practically, without having to tell the CAM software to use an offset that does not match the too) -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
