Tool length offsets: Max number of tool slots in carousel
Posted: Sat Oct 02, 2021 4:55 pmHi,
I was reading the UCCNC manual and came across this paragraph on page 62...
My question concerns the maximum tool slots in the carousel. My milling machine has 21 tool slots in it's carousel. Can this be changed? where?
Thank you!

Tool Length Offsets : G43, G44 and G49
To use a tool length offset, program G43 H..., where the H number is the desired index in the tool table. The H number should be, but does not have to be, the same as the slot number of the tool currently in the spindle. It is OK for the H number to be zero, an offset value of zero will be used.
It is an error if:
• the H number is not an integer, is negative, or is larger than the number of carousel slots, which is currently set to a value of 20.
The G44 command is similar to the G43, but for negative tool length offsets.
To cancel the tool length offset compensation, program G49.
It is OK to program using the same offset already in use. It is also OK to program using no tool length offset if none is currently being used.
My question concerns the maximum tool slots in the carousel. My milling machine has 21 tool slots in it's carousel. Can this be changed? where?
Thank you!
