Greetings

I just acquired my 1st CNC, its a Maxicam and has an auto tool height touch off.

I can measure the tool length, it's recorded properly. I can change tools, but when I check it's not compensating properly for the tool length.

I set the G54 Z parameter by just touching a tool tip to the top of the material and latch it.

It's like it's ignoring the different tool lengths

here's the code, I've latch G54 Z using tool1

M06T2
G90 G54
G0 X0 y0
G0 z0

I would expect the T2 tool tip to be at the spoil board. but it higher up because it's physically shorter.

Is there a step I'm missing using the auto tool height touch off?


Thanks
Mike
