Tool changeover

Hi,

After I created a toolpath in vectric and send it to the elite, it prompts me on the masso to load a wrong bit. You can clearly see in the gcode that i choose a 1/4" EM. Why is the machine prompting a different bit?

In the Vetric database, you have to enter tool numbers and they must be the same as the tool numbers in the Masso controller. If your file loads with tool number 2 as an 1/4 end mill, but Masso thinks that tool number 2 is a V-bit, then you will get this kind of message.

Thanks. All in the details.

I would leave the masso tool base blank and just use the one in vetric. Once you get to many bits it can be very confusing.
