auto toolchange cycle start elimination
« on: February 08, 2010, 12:36:07 PM »
This pertains to mach3turn.

I've selected the auto tool changer option in the general config. but for some reason when I call for a tool change it still requires a cycle start to continue.

What gives ???

The one good thing is since my chip control is not totally dialed in yet, it gives me a chance to remove the birds nest from the boring bar  ;D

What do you have in your macro? Make sure there is nothing in the m6end.m1s.

Well no joy. M6end is completely empty. It still waits for cycle start.
