Hey guys I think I fixed the issue.
The wear remap is perfect.
The issue was I was using classic ladder for toolchanger and then also the
remap.
And I think they had timing issues. 1 toolchange out of 500 fails.
I changed to using the carousel component and remaps
I just added to the wear re

If you can find a recipe to recreate the issue then perhaps there is a
way to investigate what's going on.

Hey andy
I just have a pocket sensor home sensor and classic ladder counter.
Plus carousel clamped and unclamped sensors etc.
But I don't think that was the problem.
If that was the case I would expect the offsets to be incorrect.
Eg t4 would be using t3 offsets and try machine in wrong loc

Hey guys
Does anyone know who wrote the fanucy style wear offset remap?
I put it on my lathe and it is great.
Not perfect but much better than stock standard tool offsets.
There are two things I would like to change.
First the wear offset is in radius.

Do you really need to worry about inrush tripping the breaker?
1) If the DC supply is the old linear type, it will have a very large

I don't expect companies to give me stuff for free of course, they
produce software for a market, to make money, I am just not in that
market. I read that a license, per year, if not mistaken, is $495, and
you can use it for free for a year (1st year ?). That is of course a
good deal,

Moving away from Fusion360 is easy. Fusion allows you to save in ".STEP"

This is my annual warning that AutoDesk isn't The Benevolent Software
Company, and they aren't in business to give you free stuff because
you're so awesome. AutoDesk has a history of offering free or low cost

Hi Chris
Fusion360 looks very nice.
I see Fusion360 can run 'under linux',
that is it can run in a VM.

the program at the beginning of the G-Code it outputs. Easy to delete with any

Hi Chris,
well, I am only looking into something different for making some parts
on a lathe, I looked at fusion360, but what I hear is that you can't

and turning. This is likely enough for most people.
What you can't do is 4-axis and 5-axis milling. To enable that you do have

I was able to replace the bearings in the spindle. The spindle "locknut"
