Hi,
has anybody a document witch describes, or maybe knows what a
G43T+toolnumber
exactly does in Mach3.
-
It's G43 H#, Tool Length Offset.
I believe it applies a Z axis offset equal to the tool length in the tool table.
Usually used with an ATC, or with fixed length tool holders.

hello Gerry,
thank you for the reply.
i am clear about the G43H.
i only ask about the G43T because i found this in a example for ATC and have
no idea what is does, or should do.

It's not the correct format for G43, so I don't know what it would do.
It should always be G43 H#.
That like asking what would M6 H1 do.
-
thats what i thought also.
Thank You

It could be an old lathe command that is now defunct.
