Mach4 General Discussion / Mach4 Lathe Tool Change
« on: November 27, 2015, 04:01:10 PM »
I am very green to Mach 4 and CNC in general so please excuse if this is obvious.

I have just gotten my lathe conversion running with Mach 4, and are trying to do a tool change, it will be a manual tool change, so I need the machine to go to a defined location and stop, then wait until I press start cycle, and continue with the new tool.

 
I understand since its a lathe I use the T0101 or similar code for tool changes compared to the M6 of a mill. I understand that in Mach4, I need to make a macro for the tool change, would it still be a M6 macro?

By any chance does anyone already have a macro written?

Thanks in advance.
