[Emc-users] Lathe ? Using Tool Offsets

2007-06-26 Thread RogerN
Currently I set tool 1 the proper distance from the chuck, touch off, and enter 0. Next I jog a skim cut, calculate radius, touch off, and enter my calculated radius. How do you set the offsets for another tool? Or maybe my question should be how do you set up the TLO table for lathes? Sorr

Hi, so we can just close the case and forget about a public version of this. I could remove the text support from xfig, but i just don't think i want to as the current version works fine for me which imho is within the GPL. Perhaps someone will do a similar thing for inkscape or so. Whoever wan

I need to have a collet open and close code (M21/M22 ?) for my Hardinge HNC project. I noticed in the Tool Change literature, that changes where needed in iosh and tkio.sh . I would also think that changes would be needed in the interpreter to add M21/M22. Another issue that comes to mind is, can I
