Mach2 lathe toolchange and touch correction


Steve Blackmore
 

Here are a few problems with toolchanges

Lathe tooltable overwrites Mill tooltable
Entries are listed as Z,X rather than X,Z?
Using Jog screen to touch entries off always overwrites tool 0 even if
a different number is typed in tool number box.

How is the touch correction supposed to work?

My job X0, Z0 is center of stock diameter, say 30mm from end, and all
my gcode coordinates work from there - if the stock is 10mm diameter
- how do I let mach2 lathe know this?

Also have you got a list of supported G & M codes for lathe, I've
noticed if it doesn't recognise a Gcode it simply skips that line -
that could be nasty - surely it should error and stop?
