Katz,

Very nice.
What do you use to make the G-Code?

Don't miss my last post

I saw it.
That is why I said make each tool a different file instead of trying the manual change in the middle of a file and needing different lengths.
Just make sure to remove tool information if you do this before opening the file.

Azalin,
Just remember that is not going to fix your problem.

It really sounds like you are trying to run before you walk.
Put the different tools in different files.
Yes it can be done in one file but tools are different lengths.
That is what the tool table is for.
Each tool has a different length and it is set accordingly.
The H# selects the length from the tool table.
If you did not set it correct the machine has no idea how high it needs to be.

The problem is you are telling the software to use tool information.
If you did a tool touchoff then opened the file with the tool information and ran it the Z position will not be correct.
Removing the tool information  and not doing a touchoff will not fix the problem.

Here is my suggestion.
Close Mach4
Make a gcode file without the tool information.
Start Mach4 again and do your setup.
Try the file without the tool information first.

If you did not give your screenset a unique name then it might get overwritten.

About your bit diving into the material.
Does your gcode file have tool number information?

Most tool change scripts are very specific to the machine.
You get the errors because you are missing some of the things the script is looking for.
You can start with one and modify for your machine.
