I'm looking to have my C axis unwind the shortest distance possible. I have cnc12 mill/router with acorn6 I have a B/C head configuration with unlimited C axis rotation (no wires to tangle) I have found this in the centroid lathe manual but I cant find it in the Mill manual and it seems I do not hav...

Everything is working and updating now. I was clearly just not following directions accurately. I felt it was something simple but I just didn't get it and I was having a hard time explaining my question. Thanks swissi and keith and the other people who helped me and my thick head with this. coming ...

I believe I did. we had one email thread going. And when I set it all up I get that warning message about make sure offsets are all 0. I have shown this message above. Now if its ok to ignore that then I guess I'm ok. Here is my email rmillerauto@yahoo.com if i missed something.

THIS IS A EXACT FULL EXPLANATION OF TCP AND WHY I NEED EXACT TOOL LENGTH FOR FUSION 360 TO PROCESS TCP.




after watching this maybe my thoughts on the need of an accurate tool library will make more sense.

I think that may be the answer. I saw that option. I’ll try and see how that works. This message is throwing me off though. Can I have values in the library or not ? And be safe ?

Hey Tom thanks for the reply. The tool library will not update the distance from the master tool. the app specifically states to have all tool lengths in the tool library stay 0.0000. i need that value to change in the tool library for my fixed tool offset from my spindle nose to the tool tip so I c...

yes I agree. unfortunately for me this is a work around for not having TCP in cnc12 and trying to not need fixed tool holders (er20/32 shrink fit is rather costly) and I cant use an atc spindle either with my B/c head unfortunately. if tool length could some how be set at time of tool change then a ...
