Good Morning,
we are laying out guitar fingerboards and need to use an exponent to calculate the proper fret spacing, I want to use the same program with a few variables to change the scale length and number of frets with out having to draw it each time in fusion.
Thanks!

Thank you,

Ok, thank you we will check them out and see what we make of it.

6: set z wcs to machine 0
7: if z dro read out shows other than 0 zero out dro

we are using g43 and h1 (for this program anyhow)

We do have a rack type tool changer, the program is from the centroid website modified by me..

We don't maintain a tool library per se, but we do manually touch off each tool ...

Good Afternoon,
We are running a CNC router with an acorn control and by and large it works excellent with one rather annoying quirk.. it often tells us we have a z axis over travel alarm when starting or restarting programs, when you look at the tool offsets they are correct, and when you look at ...
