Mach3 - Manual Tool Change

Tool Setter Position

Tool Setter Position

The Tool Setter Position section sets where your tool setter is, in MACHINE COORDINATES. Tool measurement moves the spindle here before it probes. See Tool Measurement.

Fields

Field Description
X Position MACHINE COORDINATE X of the center of the tool setter.
Y Position MACHINE COORDINATE Y of the center of the tool setter.

To measure, the spindle moves to this X and Y at Z Clearance (set in Manual Position), then down to Z Start Position (set in Tool Measurement), and then probes.

A manual tool change profile has no magazine, so there is no Relational Position to choose and no dust cover to open or close.
