hi was again thanks for the help.

i use cambam to make the program . at this point either camabm is giving me something wrong or i am setting up mach3 tools wrong .

how i set my tools are i put the shortest one in set my zero and then go to tool offsets eneter my tool number in this case 20 and hit the offset button and then save and apply . i go to my next shortest tool number 7 do the samething touch off surface of part then hit the button for tool offset. and so on for the tools .

i use a position outside of the part i have in the machine for my tool chage area.

i must not be doing something correct . here is how my program looks now . when i go to tool number 7 it drill hole fine but after drilling moves up away from part 3" . this isn't the end of the world just looking to cut time . also is there any better way to mill a slot other than the way i have it cutting now ? thanks
