    How to override tool call and tool change?

    I need to post several operations in several planes using the same tool, but, don’t want to post tool calling and tool change.
    How to do it?

    Probably call Tool 0 and modify post to not output if tool number = 0.

    share your file you should not be getting a tool change if you are changing planes unless you are changing a tool or have "Force Tool Change" checked.

    okay, where in the post then?
    Makes sense, presently if I call tool 0 my program come like this:

    N140 (LOAD/UNLOAD MANUALLY _ H34)
    N150 (TOOLPLANE NAME - NEW VIEW_3)
    ()
    N160 G00 W0.0
    N170 T0
    N180 M06 (BORING-HEAD_25MM_TURN-TOOL)
    N190 M69 (C AXIS BRAKE OFF)
    N200 G00 B103.31 C-180.071
    N210 G57 H902
    N220 G173 W-200.
    N230 M68 (C AXIS BRAKE ON)

    I don't want to se T number/M06, I'm dealing with a heavy-duty tool here.
    thanks
