    Re: Import tool setter recommendation

    The post is actually an air blast. There's a small hole that's pointed at the face of the tool setter.

    The schematic I received with mine was basically useless. There are 4 wires and two NC switches. One is the tool length switch the other is an overtravel indicator. You can connect that to your E-stop so that the tool won't crash into the tool setter if the length isn't detected for some reason.
