Its one of the problems that popped up when I changed the machine units on TLM from inch to mm's. And I've also not taken the time to blow away the tool table and create a new one. There was something else that caught my attention, but blowing away position.txt seemed to take care of that, done while lcnc wasn't running. > I intended to test this, but haven't found the time. > It seems extremely likely that the tool table units will be assumed to > match the machine units.

I've not been a big user of the G10 command so have virtually no experience. Perhaps its time to teach myself how to use it for tool table work in combination with g28.1 and g30.1. Now all I need is a project to force the issue. :) But its not gonna be today as I pulled 3 burning bushes and made them fit in my 4x6 trash trailer yesterday, the reason I had to spend 13G's on my basement 2 years back, their roots were pushing in the basement wall. With this clay all waterlogged, I figured they'd be an easy pull. Yeah, right... Tore the yard all to hell using my pickup for the puller. Now I need a 5x8 tarp to cover it and be legal, then get another AC for the garage on my way home from the landfill. :( -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
