Mach4 General Discussion / Proper Manual Tool Change
« on: September 02, 2023, 12:07:28 PM »
What is the correct procedure for doing a proper manual tool change?
Program stopped for a tool chamge at Z=2.5
I swapped the tool manually
Lowered the tool and touched off
manually reset the Z DRO to .471.
hit cycle start.
Z was supposed to go to .335 but went to -1.468 and obliterated the tool and the entire setup.
Nowhere in the program is there a negitive Z number
Is there something else that needs to be done on a manual tool change? Some setting somewhere that needs to be checked?
Again what is the correct procedure for doing a proper manual tool change?
