I wrote the "carousel" component to be the best way, and it probably is for some systems. It certainly seems to work well for a number of lathe turrets. For a mill you typically need to combine carousel for turret motion with a remapped M6 and a G-code subroutine to handle the required axes motions to pick up and drop tools. -- 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, 1916 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
