    Semi Auto tool setting and Auto xyz

    Hi

    can anyone tell me a macro for Mach 3.042 which can do Semi Auto tool change. adjust z for new length and dia of tool. and at cycle start go back to cutting automatically. Do the newer screen sets work with Mach 3.042?

    What is a "semi auto tool change"? There are plenty macros on the web for auto Z zero and it is pretty easy to adjust those to your own needs but that work can only be done by you because nobody else knows how your machine looks like. Try to google, I have posted a macro here or on MycncUK but don't remember where and when, so you have to find that. Never the less, it must still be changed for your needs.

    3.042 is not the latest version.

    Different screensets may have different requirements. I know that the MSM screenset will not work with 3.042 versions.
    But my 2010 Screenset does. I use 3.042.029 I think on my router.

    If you click the PayPal button, does it not let you purchase as a guest, without an account?
