General Mach Discussion / Re: Another tool table Question
« on: February 15, 2015, 01:22:43 AM »
Can I interrupt this thread a bit?
I don't understand how tool offsets work. I also have a hard time asking the correct questions to get me the answers I'm looking for.
Do the different tool heights work off of home dimensions?
Or lets say my T1 is zeroed to my workpiece and I run my program. Then I run the program with T2 which is 1 inch longer than T1. does T2 just follow my original origin of T1 Because of that's what Mach remembered?
Does the tool table just follow the origins of last tool height the gcode origin used?
