Hey guys,
Firstly, thanks to everyone for the help. I learned a lot about this reading some of the other posts about Z-height compensation, but I have one remaining problem that I cannot seem to solve.
I am setting my work offset by zeroing with the TTS LED toolsetter as tool #1. I have measured all of my tool lengths using the height gauge and granite block and entered them directly into my tool table as is shown in the tormach videos on the subject.
After setting zero using T1, I call another tool in my program, it asks for the tool, I change it, and after I hit cycle start, the machine starts moving slowly upward. Sometimes it stops, sometimes it doesnt until it hits the limit switch.
I cant figure out why it is doing this.
Here is the first few lines of my G-Code
N10 G20
N20 G90 G80 G40 G54 G20 G17 G50 G94 G64

Can anyone help guess what is happening here? I'm figuring there is a mode that I dont have toggled.. or..
All of my setup code etc has come from others on this forum. I dont actually know what I am doing here. I just configured my post (im using visualmill) to spit out what others have shown their code to have.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
