When you home you set the Z (I assume your talking about Z) axis to 0. Then you load a tool and move to 1.218839" from there and call that 1" so then your offset is .2148839" ... I think LOL. Offsets can be confusing at best... Another thing to note if your loading tools with TnM6 don't for get to use the offset with a G43... and tool touch off does a magic G43 for you when you touch off.

yes i was talking about Z. but i didn't use g43, just the touch off. and "IT" wrote .2148839. before the tool
offset was 0 in the tool table. the touch off changed it to .2148839 not i. and in "touch off" i entered 1in.
thanks BigJohnT

When you entered 1" in the touch off window it took and offset of .2.... + your current location to = 1. When you have a TnM6 in your code make sure you have a G43 after it so the tool offset will be applied. The tool touch off issues a G43 it automatically when you press the touch off button.

What did the DRO show for Z before you touched off? and after you touched off?

i don't remember what it was before, some random number as i was just starting a job.
after touch off it showed 0 and on the screen i saw the tool move to the offset, my mill didn't
move, just the endmill on screen. thanks for your help.and i'll remember to use g43
after m6tn.

another problem.
how deep can you call a subroutine? the program i have loads with no errors but doesn't run.
so i'm guessing i can't "call" as many as i have.
i have this;

%

g17 g20 g40 g49 g80 g90 g94 (Mill 4 Port)

well, i got it to run the first subroutine(o101), but it doesn't show the path when it loads.
it just makes the round and ends.
