If you repeatedly run a job that uses T1, then T4, then T7, does everything function the way you want it to? On a separate note, what is the purpose of variable #102 in your homing macro? I use all the tools in the turret. Not sure why i put the #102 in the homing macro but it still works without t...

I think i read it on a post from CHAZ ;Once at requested position and locked, reset position for DRO display and prevent position windup ;Set current machine position to requested position M26 /A L[#4120*#20603] I think i must have been trying new things. It seems to work again now after i deleted t...

I re installed the cnc12 software and put all the files and parameters back to what they was but it still has the tool changing problem. Working perfect in MDI commands but not in a program

I think i have solved the problem why it was putting the 1 in the G54 origin page. When the turret reverses to home the turret it backs up 1 then instead of it putting 0 in the A axis it put 1 in the field. Now it puts the DRO to 0 instead of 1 as i changed the code in the homing file.

It worked once now it is not working again.I guess that i will have to re install CNC12 again I have backed up my tool offsets.

Thanks, it is now working again. I don't know how it managed to get a 1 in the A axis box

The Boxford 250PC lathe has been working ok and tool changing perfectly until yesterday. If i type in any tool number in the MDI screen it goes to the correct tool on the rotating tool turret. If i use intercon and tell it to use T0101 for roughing then T0303 for finishing it rotates to tool T1 and ...

Have you got a turret onn your lathe?

Philtrueman, In Imperial, the Motor is in rev/Inch, while in Metric it is mm/rev. If it takes you multiple revs for each tool, i would expect the value to be 0.20 instead. So to travel 1mm, it would rotate 5 times. The macro does not use Turns/inch directly, but does assume that 1inch or 1mm = 1 to...
