LinuxCNC offers G43.1 to apply a temporary tool offset. It also offers the G10 Ln codes to apply a permanent offset (ie stored in the tool table) > If you want to retain G43, make it an INI-option and never use it again in > gcode files. It is already an INI file option. I am just proposing to make it default to on. There is already an annoying inconsistency in behaviour with this. Tool touch-off in Axis (for example jog to the top of the work, tool touch-off and set z to zero, then the DRO will show Z -0) If you do the same think in Touchy (after setting the "workpiece" option in preferences then you need to manually issue the G43 yourself to see the DRO read 0 for Z. Nearly every lathe already defaults to automatically applying the tool offset. I think that LinuxCNC is unusual in requiring G43 for lathe tool changes. Has anyone here ever deliberately coded a tool change without a G43? If so, what was the reason? -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
