I have always just manually adjusted everything on my machine since most of my work is one off stuff.
I am trying to configure my machine to just accept a CAM file generated in fusion 360 with out spending a lot of time editing it.
The one problem I am having is that the tool height seems to be messed up when changing tools.
I use mach 4 and have the tool offsets set correctly. Settings:
# LENGTH OFFSET
T1 1". 0
T2 1.25" .25"
T3 .75" -.25
My machine mills with the first tool correctly then when it switches to the second tool should the offset be applied automatically? Do I need to use G43? Something else?
What do I need to change as far as offsets when I change tools? Fusion just calls the new tool. How do I make sure when the tip of the tool is at the top of the workpiece is the same for all the different length tools?
