Guy on the forum wants to embed the tooltable info in the gcode header of his
programs.
Not sure if this has any bearing on your work, but I thought it an interesting
idea.

Gentlemen:
Andy has taken a large bite of work - tool handling in LinuxCNC - and has made
very quick progress on it. He deserves all the support from us he can get; we
do not have enough folks taking a larger-than-average bite and actually deliver
on it.
I also note that part of that work is

This is one advantage of using an sqlite database. The user/integrator

So there will be no spindle.
I assume the print head can be considered a tool.
I am not 100% sure about this. I can't decide if the heads are
conceptually tools or spindles.
if anyone out there in LinuxCNC-space has any experience with a
multi-head printer then I would be interested to see how they are
controlled, and we can see if the usage fits the proposed database
structure.
For ink jets then one is pointing at differing parts of the data

As you demonstrate, everyone feels qualified to judge appropriateness.

just a couple things I wondered about:
-Under spindles heading:
toolID shows which tool is currently mounted in the spindle. A value of
zero indicates that no tool is loaded.
I wonder if -1 would be better as some machines

oh, i totally missed to respond to Andy's work
it looked great and is an advance over the current versions
its late now and i spent the day trying to use an array in #5xxx land
the idea was an alternate tool table in unused variable space
it dont work :( the data is not saved
