I can say for sure that there would never be any more than one offset in use at any given time. They may use different offsets on the same tool in the same program, example, you have a shaft you are turning that has 4 different diameters on it, you can use the same tool to run the whole shaft, and

2014-06-10 Thread Rick Lair
The wear offset values are stored on the same tool table as the actual tools, they just use the numbering of 10001, 10002, 10003, etc Which sometimes can get confusing, if the operator is in a hurry, and fat fingers the wrong row on the table? Thanks Rick Lair Superior Roll & Tur

Don't get me wrong though we have made it this long with what we have and as long as the patch still works, I can still make it work on my end. If we wouldn't have at least found the patch though, LinuxCNC would have been very short lived on the turning side of our shop. Thanks

My two cents, As longs as the way the tool/offset call is made and a table to store the fixed "tool" offsets and a possible second table to store the Assignable "wear" offsets, is the same as the way we do it with the Fanuc Style Patch, is really the important part to us. It is here nor there ho

Rick, The display of the wear offsets is entirely in the GUI code, not in the linuxcnc code. I imagine you are using a program called tooledit (that's what gets called in Axis when you edit the tool table file). Someone would have to add this functionality to that program, which is unlikely b

I don't recall the actual problem using the MDI_COMMAND but one button is G10 L11 P#5400 Z0.0 then the second is G43. Just testing in 2.5.4 and G10 L11 P#5400 Z0.0 G43 seems to work in the MDI tab... The touch off to material is G10 L20 P1 Z0.375 because I use a 3/8" dowel to touch off with. J
