My problem is that of putting the tool angle at the best compromise for my instant job, usually by eye, driving the tool to various locations to see if this angle can do it, and not telling the tooltable because I've no quick and accurate enough device to measure the angle. The pro's here probably do know how or have a measuring tool. I believe thats largely my fault because I believe the tool table can now accept the left and right angles of the face of the tool, plus the tip radii if its known. But looking all that up, if indeed it's even published for every tool in the drawer, is a right PITA.
How successful we are depends on our ability to be able to type the 4 or 5 character chip style itself into a slot in the tool table, and the angle of the lengthwise axis of the tool holder, and let the tooltable code do the lookups to control all of that. Leaving a single variable up to a SWAG by me is an invite for a disaster. I would offer the guess that the uptake of such an idea in the onsies to tensies shops would be considerably higher if a one time tooltable entry really could cover a single tool holder that well. It sure would promote the tool holder sales for our quick change posts. :) G71-72 and this raspi.driver I'm trying to crash and haven't in 2.8 final, the tool table might be LinuxCNC-3.0 stuff maybe? My $0.02, probably ignoreable. Got to get me ready to go to a musical/dinner. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
