You need to build/buy something along the lines of this picture.  Then you can write macros to measure the tools.

Are we talking about changing cutters or fixed tools in a repeatable chuck e.g. BT30 holder?

From memory I think user LED's start at 1000 anything below 1000 is usually system related.

How can the square be right and the circle be wrong, how did you program the square?

If working at X0 Y0 and Z0 on top of work then the code would look like this :-


(6MM HOLE USING 4MM CUTTER)
G00 G90 X0 Y0 Z1. S20000 M3
G01 Z-1. F50.
X1.
G03 I-1.
G00 X0 Z1.
M30

You need to set max speed and freqency (400Hz max usually) in the VFD and also if its a router spindle ramp up and down time too.

When you have set / reset a fixture offset you can force a save by going to dropdown Config\Fixture... and clicking save.

When you exit Mach3 normally you will be prompted to save Fixtures and / or Tool offsets if they have changed.

General Mach Discussion / Re: 4th Axis jerky - Acceleration differences between A and XYZ?

« on: January 16, 2022, 08:36:12 PM »

You are running inverse time mode and tiny moves so every move has a different feed rate so it will look jerky.

Try running it with a fixed feed rate, remove the G93 and the feed commands and use G94 and see how that looks.
