    G54, G55, G56,...work offsets by Macros?

    I use 2 different shape knives for my wood working lathe.
    In my program I use 2 original coordinates system G54 and G55 because 2 knives's profile are different.
    How can I make the work offset between G54 & G55 automatic by Macro?
    Can you help me please!!!
    Thank you very much.
    Best regards,
    Alex

    Re: G54, G55, G56,...work offsets by Macros?

    you would have to have more information to be helped
    make and model of machine
    make and model of control
    sample of the program might be helpful if you can do this
    and is your automatic switching between g54 and g55 is this in a single part or are you doing one part then running the second part with the different knife ?
