Tool Setting Options For Routers and Mills

Dan,

As always, test things out. I didn't change anything in the m6.

Cool I'm going to take the plunge and do it this weekend. Thanks brother.

Thanks Slodat for the update

Happy to help!

Keith updated the first post in this thread with CNC12 4.14 macros.

Thank you very much Keith for doing this for us!!! This macro works fantastic and I was worried we would lose it.

I have something weird going on with mfunc6_g54.mac.

When I choose option 1, I zero G54 to a moveable plate, no issues.

Code: Select all

N225

M200 "#)Jog the cutter over the Moveable Plate on the Spoil Board \nPress Cycle Start to continue"	
										
M115 /Z P[#104] F[#102]                     ;Move at fast probing rate until TT1 detected
G91 Z#9013 F[#102]                          ;Move up the distance set in P13.
M115 /Z P[#104]F[#103]                      ;Move at slow probing rate until TT1 detected
G90
                                        
G54 G92 Z[#9071]                            ;Set Z position to 0 + detector height stored in parameter 71 - Moveable plate thickness 
G4 P1                                       ;Wait 1 second
G53 Z0                                      ;Retract Z

When I set G55 (it is the basically the same code as the G54) it hangs at the G53 Z0. The bit will stay at the touch plate and not retract until I press cycle start, then it retracts to G53 Z0 and immediately moves to the G30 position.

Code: Select all

N230                                        
M200 "#)Jog the cutter over the Moveable Plate on Top of the Part \nPress Cycle Start to continue"									
M115 /Z P[#104] F[#102]                     ;Move at fast probing rate until TT1 detected
G91 Z#9013 F[#102]                          ;Move up the distance set in P13.
M115 /Z P[#104]F[#103]                      ;Move at slow probing rate until TT1 detected
                                        
G55 G92 Z[#9071]                            ;Set Z position to 0 + detector height stored in parameter 71 - Moveable plate thickness 
G4 P1                                       ;Wait 1 second
G53 Z0                                      ;Retract Z

M225 #106 "#)Put away Moveable Tough Plate\nThe machine will now move to the Fixed Tool Touch Off\nPress Cycle Start to continue"
G30P2                                       ;Move machine to return point to measure Z at TT1 permanent location

This is not what it did in V4.12! it would retract to G53 Z0 then display the message. after I pressed cycle-start it would move to G30.

This makes ZERO SENSE! What am I missing???

It's something in the macro Clint it did the same thing when I tried it. It would pin the tool setter to the top of the material. I'm just running the first m6 that you did since the other one doesn't work right.

.
the Macro is essentially the same as it was in V4.12
