General Mach Discussion / Re: Tool Change w/ Height Offset

You are correct that you need to use an "H" word after G43 so Mach 3 knows what TLO to apply to what tool. You want the G43 on the next line after the tool change command and of course H1 ,H2, H3, and so on applies to tool T1, T2, T3, and so on. Here is an example of how I was advised to write the code for tool changes when using TLO.
N1 G00 G17 G20 G40 G43 G80 G90
N2 T1 M06
N3 G43 H1
N4 T2 M06
N5 G43 H2
N6 T3 M06
N7 G43 H3
