Hello,
Today I've merged tlo_all_axes into master development branch.
On this branch tool length offset was extended to all nine axes.
This brings major change to tool table format to hold those additional
values.
Old tool tables will not load any more.
For example, old tool table:
TOOLNO POCKET LENGTH DIAMETER COMMENT
1 1 +0.511000 0.125000 1/8 end mill
2 2 +0.100000 0.062500 1/16 end mill
3 3 +1.273000 0.201000 #7 tap drill
99999 99999 +0.100000 0.000000 big tool number
should be changed to:
T1 P1 D0.125000 Z+0.511000 ;1/8 end mill
T2 P2 D0.062500 Z+0.100000 ;1/16 end mill
T3 P3 D0.201000 Z+1.273000 ;#7 tap drill
T99999 P99999 Z+0.100000 ;big tool number
In general new tool table line format is:
T - integer tool number
P - integer pocket number
D - abs float tool diameter
X..W - float tool length offset on specified axis
I - float front angle (lathe tools)
J - float back angle (lathe tools)
Q - int tool orientation (lathe)
; - begin of comment
There is tool for converting to new tool tables in
src/emc/usr_intf/toolconvert.tcl
Usage: ./toolconvert filename
(original file is saved as filename.orig)
tooledit.tcl support net table format if needed.
Along with tooltable two gcodes was changed and TLO_ALONG_W inifile
option was removed.
G43.1 In Km was changed to G43.1 Xn Ym ... Wn to allow set all tlo
values at runtime.
G10 L1 P[tool number] R[radius] X[offset] Z[offset] Q[orientation] was
changed to
G10 L1 P[tool number] R[radius] X[offset] Y[offset] Z[offset] A[offset]
B[offset] C[offset] U[offset] V[offset] W[offset] I[frontangle] J
[backangle] Q[orientation]
Additional info will be soon in emc devel docs at

regards,
Michael
