Dave, Huge Thanks!! works like a dream, tried changing the MT PTL a few times on both longer and short tools and it showed correctly in the new TLO's in the current tool window. I loaded up a longer and shorter tool and setup a piece of stock in the vice and used the MT Probe to find a corner. I the...

OK, here is a 1st pass at MTM TLO recalc script for you to test. Copy the attached script to C:\Mach3\ScreenSetMacros\MachStdMill.set\Masters\Scripts\Maintenance\ THen you should be able to go to the settings page, use the "run Maint Script" button and you will find RecalculateMTMTLOs.mcc...

Dave, YES!!!! that is exactly the solution I was looking for. I agree the calc should be for RH tools, Not empty. that would be a BLESSING for those of us who love MTM and don't use a permanently mounted tool plate and auto tlo measuring. so essentially, I could bench measure a new tool, enter it in...

Dave, I am aware of the various methods in the MSM manual as I read through to see if i was missing an option for using the probe tool as the MT BUT the ability to still set the PTL of each tool based off the spindle nose or gauge line. So to simplify what I was asking which I think you misunderstoo...

Dave, I Use the Master Tool mode with all repeatable holders, even drill bits, and I have been frustrated from time to time if there is a glitch and the probe tip gets damaged from either not stopping while probing Z or some other goofy mishap like user error in handling or dropping the probe.. this...

Ok, I did some investigating and noticed the cam definitely is handling the tool tip radius based on the tooling models I made and the insert dimensions and cutting point drawn in a specific coordinate system with the center of the tool insert radius center being at 0,0,0. So I think the cam will be...

Awesome! I read that link and saw it says that I should use my camsoftware for the offsets etc... Is that still the case or was that just because it was an older version of mach? Seems like more confusion. My camsoftware does have the option to output compensations for each tool path and I can set t...

Yes... That is the missing link! Thanks Dave! I thought I was going crazy..lol. I have learned from the past that you are meticulous about providing information in the manuals and it covers everything stem to stern. So I was scratching my head trying to figure out where I missed it, when I hit the l...

Because I don't know what tool tip is what has what number designation, mach has little picture icons without numbers for reference, you just click tool tip picture u til you get the one you want. Or am I doing something wrong?

Ok, so then I should setup the tools in regular mach screens where I can select the tool insert type? And ten just import the table into MSM via the load tool table button and it will correctly populate the tool tip style in the MSM interface?
