Thanks Jeff. I will definitely change the name of the file. And I will

Oh, and of course, whenever working on HAL and .ini files, you want to
save the before
version of the files, and make changes in small
or Python, or else I would have a go at it.
Thanks,

I assume that you are talking about the script linked at
http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ManualToolChangeMacro
It looks like this version of the tool change script is a bit out of
date with respect to LinuxCNC.
LinuxCNC removed the need to specify [EMC]NML_FILE in the inifile in

Hi everybody,
I just made my first PC board using EMC2 and my Sherline mill.
I was surprised at how nice it came out.
One issue came up, however, during the drilling phase. When EMC2
paused for the tool changes, I didn't see a way to touch off the Z axis
after installing a new drill bit. Is
related: using a tool length switch with manual toolchange - see the example in
configs/sim/remap/manual-toolchange-with-tool-length-switch/
you need to run master for this

Is there a way to do a cut, move the router to the top of the Z axis,
stop the program, manually change the tool bit, MANUALLY move the Z axis
to do a touch off, then continue with the program?

so yes and no, to a VFD for position work, that is in Hz mode, not flux
vector as that drive has a limit of 4000rpm in vector mode and i need at
least 6000rpm for the spindle.

I think you are asking about how to do spindle orient.
Having used machines with vfd+pid orient and machines with mechanical
orient and lock, I have to say the
I would vote mechanical also - That is how are old machine does it. It
was pretty easy to setup. (I actually wrote a comp for the spindle

mode then creeps into the dog. Checks to see that the spindle is at 0

Still undecided as how to resolve the tool change challenge.
I am deliberating on two solutions
Option #1 Use a DC servomotor like a Homeshops 850 oz-in
and a drive like the Gecko 320. This will allow positioning the
spindle with plenty of accuracy and spin my cutter at around 3,000
Random tool change machines allowing manual tool matrix manipulation should
have a display for the tool number in the spindle and the tool number of the
tool in the tool change position.
The tool pots in the matrix should have NO numbers on them - numbers on
these pots are confusing. This can all
Numbered pots with a lookup table of which pot number currently is holding
which tool number is majorly useful.
If there are tools in the pots, but the machinist does not know which tool
number they are, he can get the pot number, look up the tool number and get
it in MDI.
This is all too common
