Increasing IPM on the fly?

Hey Derk,

@CNCGeek

I make aure when i home the machine it bumps on a perfectly clean area.

with the proximity sensors you avoid any bumping at all, it simply stops when the sensor senses the metal of the opposite moving part.

@CNCGeek

Heres hiw id like it. Program runs until time swap bits. Then it stop or pause however you look at it and at a area that i can rezero with apindle up high enough to allow for my longeat bit which is 3.5 inches currently and be able to use my pribe block there and probe for the z axis and then be able to hit resume etc and it continue witj the program until its time for the next bit
But i need to figure out how to make it work with probiing from the top of material and off machine bed as i run both ways just depends on the job.
The g xodes seems simple and i can use the cheat sheet to help and the forum where you pointed out to me the coding as reference

I would suggest that you familiarize yourself with the commands that appear in the link mentioned above about ‘tool-change’ routine. You can familiarize yourself with all the commands by entering them one at a time in the Command Entry Field of the MDI Tab and see what happens. Yes, little can happen, especially with no bit.

You can find the entire g-code command reference here.

Im meen what can go wrong right? Just make sure to run a simulation without a bit installed and aee what it does. I dont think i can break the machine that way it will either run or error out i assume and then make the appropriate g code change and keep testing until i get what i want right?

Precisely. I see no reason why you would not succeed, if you give yourself the time to explore it and get familiar with it. Take also the time to study the documentation and specification, it answers questions too.

@CNCGeek

You all know what youre doing way more than me but im slowly learning

We all come from a point where we knew nothing .

@CNCGeek

A lot of things to take in for the average joe like me but ive never found anything i cant do with the proper tools and information.

That’s a good attitude. But, as I said earlier, mastering a CNC machine is nothing one would expect to happen within a few days. Take your time. Good luck!
