Can you also attach the xml for the profile you use, if its a standard Mach3Mill profile then it will be called Mach3Mill.xml  You will find it in the Mach3 folder on your drive, you will need to right click and copy then paste onto your desktop. You will then need to rename it as the forum will only accept a file that hasnt been posted before, rename it Josh.xml and it should work.

Josh, M06 T1 is calling a tool change (M06) to tool 1 (T1). If the toolchange option isn't enabled in general cofig, it will ignore the M6 command. Do you have a tool changer on your machine? If not, lets do more on this later if needed.

Josh, your problem is in your config, system hotkeys. MDI select is set to 49 which equals 1.

No problem Josh. Glad your getting sorted and learning. You haven't seen the tip of the iceberg yet. Mach just has so many tools in its box to get the job done. VB, Modbus, Plug-ins to name a few.

Be careful, this stuff is addictive.  :)
