Hi all people in here!

I think it is called a home switch.

I need a little help to understand how to make a tool change manually the best way.

My home switch:

It got a wire into the spindle motor.

But how do I do a tool change and use this for setting the the correct new tool lenght/height after a manual tool change.

Any help on this question.

Is it both with code and settings or  how???

M6 t2 z - ("Safety zone and with space to make a tool change - z10.0000") and go back to the line before M6 how to and is this correct.

Where do the auto touch plate used in this picture - I dont understand..

Message( "Auto Zeroing..." )
If IsSuchSignal (22) Then
code "G31 Z-3 F20"
While IsMoving()
Wend
Call SetDRO( 2, 1.00 )
code "G1 Z1.5"
End If

What can I do with this code I have implemented. How can I work with this...

Do a search for auto tool height and you should find lots of info, here is one example which may help.

Hi, Hood

Thanks for your answer. I have been looking at the side before.

What I need is more specific how to use the auto tool height.

Let me try to explain what I meant.

When I start a router job, where there is a need of tool change or just setting the macihne running correct. I do not know how to do.

But When i have clampted my material. What to do is it now I use the auto tool height or is it between the tool change and how do
I do that.

measurement from a fixed point or just where the tool are ?

I dont know how or then I have to use the auto tool height or "home button" is it the same ect. Maybe some good videos. I think most of them are use less for my beginner status and my small cheap cnc router.

Can you please help me...

Talk to Ger21, I am sure he sells a screenset (very reasonably priced) that does what you want.
