I’ve searched and searched but, I cannot find the proper steps, and their order, to use the Easy-Z tool setter. I’m using Aspire. I insert the bit I’m to start with, then home, then use the touch plate for X-Y-Z positions. I star my project and I’m asked to change the bit and I do, although the bit…

Rob, There’s some good information here. The Cycle Stop has potential. I learned something new here, thanks. What I’m noticing here is what I call the Microsoft Quirk, there are many entries that can be made to accomplish a task. How many ways are there to open a file in any program, or open anothe…

This an interesting topic. I’m looking to solve a few things myself, and maybe help someone else in the process. I’m sort of having some of the same issues, but not, and different. I have the Elite Woodworker (Masso G3 Firmwear 5.07), Vectric 12 Pro, the MPG Pendant, Tool Setter, and Touch Probe. L…

Yeah, telling the machine where it is is challenging, at least for me. I’ve upgrade the Masso to v5.07, I think that’s right…the latest version. I haven’t experience any abnormal behavior from my probe or pendant. I think I read that you haven’t used the tools tab on top of the Masso screen. The t…

Update… found an example of the settings here on the forum… had the Probe set on the wrong input… Now the Tool Setter and the Probe work fine… The Pendant is still wonky… but 2 out of 3 ain’t bad… Ha ha!

One slight correction it should be TxxM06…

Hey Dean, you can also use the T command many lines before the M06 command. [image] Tool length setter T – Select Tool Tx - prepare to change to tool x. The tool is not changed until an M6 is programmed. […] On some machines, the carousel will move when a T word is programmed, at the same …

Agreed, but I assumed this was a manual based on how he described his scenario, so went with the most common usage scenario… Similar to what you may find in Vectric files…

Hey Dean, Spaces and tabs are allowed anywhere on a line of code and do not change the meaning of the line, except inside comments. This makes some strange-looking input legal. The line G0X +0. 12 34Y 7 is equivalent to G0 x+0.1234 Y7, for example. – Source: NIST RS274NGC G-code Standard The t…

I am not debating anything that you have said… In my first reply to Geige, my correction was just to state that the proper order should be set the Tool number Txx before the Tool Change command M6 or M06 to achieve the expected behavior. Can it be done differently? Sure, but the results will be dif…

Hey Dean, yes I understood, however this does not apply to other cnc controllers. It is Masso-specific. This may be because the usual way for a cnc controller to work, is that a g-code line is first read and the commands are sorted internally after reading the entire line. E.g. the Buildbotics and…
