Alright. Fixed I think... 1. Edited the values in the INI file to show X and Y in the tool table from here: #3 Column selections. http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gui/tooledit.html 2. Cleared out the erroneous X value. 3. Went through the process of adding a #7 drill bit and 1/4-20 spiral tap that arrived from amazon.ca today. 4. Promptly had a Y offset...
Hmmm. Turns out that if you have an HB04 MPG (others may do the same) that twisting the axis selection knob, to select which axis the MPG moves, does _not_ change the radio button on the AXIS display. In my case I'd used the keyboard to move roughly over the 123 block area sitting on the vise so I could then dial in the Tool Offset which I did with the MPG. Once the block no longer bumped against the tool but slid under I grabbed the mouse and clicked "Tool Touch Off" it immediately set a Y axis offset for that tool. I saw it change from 0.0000 to some non zero value. That's when I noticed the radio button for y was still on. Editing the tool table showed that offset hand been entered into the now displayed Y value. Easy to set to 0. Do the reload etc. Then select the radio button for Z and click "Tool Touch Off". All good now. Y stayed 0 and Z changed. Now thinking about it I've been caught by that a few times but it was never an issue. So now the question is, with the Pendant, is it possible to change the axis radio button if the pendant MPG sends out motion for the appropriate axis?
