Just wanting to know if this post would work with mach3 for tool change position.
It is for 4 Axis Fanuc.
When I simulate in FC, it doesn't show that the machine moves in Y to home for the tool change.
Z retracts and X remains put. Which is what I want. But really I need the Y axis to move back, or go Home to facilitate tool changes.
Am I forgetting something here? Here is the 2 processes of interest.
