BLURRING THE EDGES all about assembling and learning to use a Tormach 770

Yes, I am currently testing this on my machine. They have modified the behaviour of all ATC tool changes so the spindle goes up after every change.

It doesn't reveal itself in the code the...

Wow, that is above my pay grade. But I totally like the idea of a G53 Z0 call after every tool change. Thanks shred.

However, we appear agreed on the fact we don't know why they don't just call...

shred, I fully get what you are saying, and you are right of course. But here's the thing. The PathPilot software does actually make a note of the clearance height that the user sets in Fusion 360...
