Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Mach4 manual tool change help
« on: September 11, 2017, 02:44:30 AM »
Hi,
welcome to the forum. I don't have a tool changer so I don't know, best I have a suspicion as to whats going on.
You might like to have a look at Daz-the-Gaz's videos, they're very good and at least one deals with tool changers.
One thing that I remember is that Mach4 can interpret your Tool number in two ways. One mode is that the next T word is the next tool to
be used at the next tool change. The other mode is the T word is the tool to use right now. Daz explains it in his vid rather well.
The setting is Configure/Mach/Tools and the item your looking for is 'Tool Change Type' upper left corner.
Hope this helps.
Craig
