In either event, I don't really see what your perceived problem is. Assuming that you have an ATC then the proposed behaviour would be correct. If you don't have an ATC (and I don't think you do, and Rene several times reminded us that his changes are irrelevant in that case) then G43 offsets will have no effect on the homing process, and as soon as you put a tool in then presumably you do a G43 with the new tool, and all is correct. > The tool table > is enough of a puzzle by itself, so much so that I wish it could be > named according to the job right in the gcode, a single table is a not > something that suits every job.
