Manual tool change...
I have set sheetcam to park the tool at Y0, X150 which brings it nicely to the front and centre.
Mach3 seems to lock the axes when tool-changing so how to handle the Z axis ?
When parked the Z is at my rapid height of 20mm above the material, but it looks like the park commands are in work coordinates not machine coordinates so telling the Z to go to say 100 would not work if i have less than 100 spare (thick workpiece etc) If it was in machine coords, i could tell it to go to Z0 but there is no G53 in there.
Whats a good way to get the tool to go to machine Z0 for manual changing ?
