General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach3 Turn X axis problem

I think the tool offset for X in the offset table has to be set as radius. Also do you have the turret front/back set correctly?

Mach3 works to 8 decimal places, most code only works to 4.

I ran your code in fresh air and it worked fine on my machine.

How many hole positions are you wanting to return to?

If its just a few you could set some #vars to the position use #1500 to #1599 or you could set the G59.x fixture values using a G10 L command or one of many other ways.

An explanation of what you are trying to achieve would help.

You could set a button to set X & Y axis to the offset values and move to the position with a something like :-

Put this in the button scrip:-

Code "G92 X2. Y2." (set axis to new values)
Code "G00 G90 X0 Y0" (move to zero)
