> So now I wonder why there is even a Tool Crib in EMC? It has a number of uses. The main one is tool-length compensation. You can change tool and the tip of the tool is still at the XYZ that the screen says it is at. (or the XZ in the case of a lathe) The secondary use is tool radius compensation, where you can tell EMC2 not to follow on a path, but to leave the path to one side or the other of the bit. However, I think that most of us rarely look at the actual tool table itself, as the offsets are all set from probing or touch-off processes, rather than offline measurement and editing. -- atp The idea that there is no such thing as objective truth is, quite simply, wrong. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Windows Azure Live!
