The chap is having some problems with tool offsets, however. He is using Gscreen, and I am not entirely sure how the offsets work in that, however the problem description seems GUI-agnostic: "Rough the shank down to 3.6mm with tool 2 and then cut the groove with tool 1 while the shank still has some meat on it, then take the final pass down to 1.6mm with tool 2 Roughing pass was fine. To my delight, the groove cut perfectly as well. For the finish pass, tool 2 comes back, and seems to have lost (or gained) around 2.5mm - resulting in crash.jpg Bearing in mind that tool 2 had cut perfectly to leave 3.6mm in the roughing pass one tool change ago, I can't work out what the hell's going on." His G-code seems blameless enough: ... (TOOL - 1 OFFSET - 0) (0.48 CUSTOM CARBIDE GROUND INSERT - NONE) G0 X50. Z100. G0 T0001 M6 g43 G18 G97 S1000 M04 G0 X5.58 Z-1.28 {G0 and G1 moves} G0 X150. Z100. M05 M00 (TOOL - 2 OFFSET - 0) (CCGT 12 02 RAD INSERT - CCGT 12 04 08-UM) G0 X150. Z150. G0 T0002 M6 g43 G18 G97 S1000 M04 G0 X1.433 Z.141 G96 S20 D1000 G1 Z-.059 F20. X1.6 Z-.142 M00 is because he does some tool changes by hand, and some on the turret. Any ideas? -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.
