So perhaps if I had the tool/jet diameter in a hal float pin, I could use that along with the analog input function in Gcode to grab the hal value and then assign it via an invocation of G42.1 or G41.1 ? Does that sound possible/reasonable? So in this respect the tool table becomes a non issue? Does this sound correct? Thanks, Dave --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
