Changing tool change position on CNC mill using Swissi's post processor

[againstallodds1]

[againstallodds1]

Are you entering machine coordinates?

The post processor is not changing G28 positions..

Yes, I am. Added them to G28 and G30. Used the machine coordinates, correct.

G28 is the correct method, but if you want to program ypur own moves, first delete the G28, and then use G90 X0 Y0.

G91 is INCREMENTAL move. You are asking the machine to move nothing in X and Y.

Thank you for the reply,
Am I in the ballpark with the line at the bottom? I underlined it just so it stands out here.

You are now talking about what to do at the end of the program, not the tool change, which is what your original question was about..

I got it wrong and you are correct, where do I enter the and what would the code look like to move X0 Y0 for a tool change?
