Kewl, but at what cost per tool? I can see it on a $150 tool, but can't see it on a home made, max $10 tool, you might have a hundred of. Thats more than we have in a tool.tbl file ATM. Some fixes for that are afoot, but then I'd still need to stamp the tool.tbl pocket #. But to really make it tool.tbl materiel, tool.tbl will have to grow a tpi or tpmm column to make it 100% usable. We don't have either at the moment, so the important stuff is stamped on the hats bottom face, currently a short hand for size and tpmm. > maybe, > if info is stored on the tool itself > then the existing tool table framework is enough > tomp tjtr33 Or measure it in use like I am now.
