tool offsets
Posted: Wed Aug 21, 2024 9:58 pm
So i'm just starting to look at UCCNC software since there is a lathe version now. I'm a 20+ year Mach3 user. I've got 1000's of programs for mach3. I am a little confused on UCNC tool offsets. IN mach3, the tool offsets are from machine zero and are called up using T0101 not m6. IN mach3 you also don't have to use G41/G42 or G43 height offset. In Mach3, when you add or remove wear comp, the DRO changes to reflect that. Is UCCNC just more like a mill software where you have to use m6, g41 and g43?
