Thread: M6 tool change
Threaded View

I'm fairly new to CNC machines so therefore easily bamboozled
Until fairly recently tool changing hasn't been an issue as I've not required it. However I've branched out into more complicated items and that's where I've hit a problem.
I have made a program, using Cut 2D and Mach 3 on the machine. It has put in a M6 code as a part of the sequence. Unfortunately the CNC doesn't obey it or if it does it's only like a hesitation.
How do I get it to raise up clear of the work and return to a (Y = 0) where I can change the tool. (All done manually)
Below is a prime example of what is not happening from a 3mm end mill to an engraving tool.

N1150G00X335.638Y12.500Z6.000

N1250G1X138.121Y119.804Z-3.000
N1260G1X138.046Y120.438Z-3.000
Hope I've made it clear
Can anyone help (In layman terms please)
Bob
