    machine is limiting after tool changes.

    Machine is moving to machine limit after tool changes. Is there a setting in BC I may be missing and need to change? I am using a Taig mill and Mach 3.
    Thanks for any help.
    Mike

    I'd change your tool change position in tour program manually.

    Your M6 Tool Change Macro may finish in G91 incremental mode. You may need to put a G90 in your program before next movement.

    Also you may need a Z-move with your G43.

    If you copy and paste a bit of the BobCAD posted code someone might be able to know for sure. DP sounds like he might have some insight. Either way, your Post Processor likely needs modified. If you aren't comfortable doing this yourself, you can post it here to the forum.

    FYI .MillPst files can't be uploaded directly to the forum. You will need to ZIP it first.
