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?
