So finally I can no longer ignore the tool table functions of LCNC and I have never had the prevaledge to understand them well.
Please assist me in getting my head around this. What I have on my lathe is this. My limit switches are close to the chuck for the Z axis and fully retracted for the X axis. I am using Gmoccapy and I have the G49 code active in the startup section. I home the machine and then an offset for the home switches are used. I dont know if this is good practise? Then I put tool 1 in the post and do a reference cut. I touchoff X to the cut size I touchoff Z to the chuck face. Save the tool table and reload Then I do a tool change with the button in Gmoccapy and put the next tool in and repeat the above. If I now put tool 1 back in and do a M6 T1 it is no longer at the same as what it was set just now. Do I have the cat by the you know what here??? ----------------------------- Regards / Groete Marius D.
