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
