Gentlemen, I have asked this before but with the EMC2 machines breeding in my shop I want to get this implemented. I want to have a variable (in the .var file?) that will allow me to set positive tool lengths using a tool set block on the table surface. I want to be able to match the tool lengths the machine sets to the tool lengths our tool set machine measures. The variable would be a constant that is compared to the axis position to calculate the tool length from the imaginary gage point. I have a 50 taper tool set standard I can put in the spindle to determine the gage point very accurately. Our 5 axis mills that have 5 axis tool length compensation need and use positive tool lengths in the TLO. I would like to have positive tool lengths on all machines just to be consistent. I will start working on this here unless someone (with much better programming skills - wink wink) has completed it. :) thanks Stuart
