One neat thing about the G43 system is that you can apply whichever offset you want. For instance, when I have two tools ganged on one turret position on my lathe, I use T1M6 but might use G43H1 or G43H9. Even on a mill, I can imagine having (say) a slitting saw with different offsets for the top edge and the bottom edge; you could pick the offset based on which side of the cut was the important one. I don't know whether that's an answer to your question (I agree with you in thinking you almost always want a tool offset applied), but it's nice if you can explicitly pick an offset not equal to the T number. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
