I know I have read some posts on here re tool change and codeing I have had a good and I mean good look through post and done a few searches but sofar nothing.
Does anyone know of a tread or remember one as at the moment I am having a few little issues and wanted to look through old post to see how others were doing it or if its my post doing the code wrong?
-
What are you trying to do?

just run the machine with the tool offset I have set in the tool table weird thing is its not getting them right it sets them or calls them but they just end up way out?
Not sure why? I was looking a for a basic code to look at to check against mine
-
Doing a search for radius comp or height comp should bring up something but there is also the explanation in Mach itself when you click on the G Code button on screen.

Yeh been there lol it was more to see a peice of code as a sample for where to put the G49 and where mach wants the G43. If that makeso sense Hood had a few weird things happen and not sure why just looking for insperation really
-
G43H* is all you need, what the G43 does is look at the tool table for the length offset that you have called.
So for example G43H1 would look at the tool table for tool 1's length offset and apply it.
Having a G49 in the code will cancel the offset and set to zero offset.
If thats not what you are asking then just shout.
