    Simple problem just need an answer.

    I'm using RhinoCAM and a MACH 2 post file, as I don't know if there is a MACH 3 post file. Anyway, there are two lines which mach doesn't like and I just remove them and just want to make sure it's nots going to do something weird.

    N50 T1 M6
    N60 G43 0

    The second line I think is for tool length offset and I don't need it but want to make sure I'm not removing anything critical. Thanks.

    The second line is not right, should be G43 H1 where 1 is the tool number. Yes, the G43 is tool length offset. The other line should be M6 T1, it's a tool change to tool #1. If your not changing tools, you don't need either one.

    Thanks Gerry....again! I should hire you...LOL Not the right forum but I figure I'll ask you. Since I'm having limit switches trip for no reason since I upgraded to a 48V PS, electrical noise I'm sure. I'm changing my limit switch wires to shielded should I tie all the drain wires from the shielded cable together?
