Trying to learn, how do i switch, set multiple work offset G54 to G59? Do i use the mdi editor command G55 then use probe, then G56 and use probe again to save, and so on…

Patrik,  
Short answer is yes. When you probe G55, G56, etc., you will see those positions on the F4 page, and they are in non-volatile memory (until you change them again), and will remain virtually forever. The real question is can you label and locate materials accurately on the spoil board, such as a fence or corner. While you’re there you might as well set up a “park” position, I have mine at x=30, y=30, Z= minus 1, that sets the z with a little room for homing the next time.

Hey Patrik,

the different set of coordinate systems and all of the g-code language was created when CNC operators wrote their programs in g-code. G55ff. was an easy way to run the same toolpath on a set of up to nine workpieces clamped on the worksurface or set at fences in a regular interval.

With the advent of CAD/CAM software, such coordinate systems on the g-code level are no more necessary since you could program them with the CAD/CAM program. When 3D modeling, you can easily clone an object and put several of them side by side in a g-code toolpath.

Thanks, that was clever, didn’t think of that.
