I will add the files tomorrow I don't have a copy with me unfortanly.
I've taken the atc spindle off mine to put it on my flatbed machine as its got the drill bank and i only need one tool in this one … hopefully.
how do you call the tools on the tool bank now with tool numbers from cam ? and then the remap takes care of energising the relay for the motor and whichever tool needs to be down ? do you use the tool table for the offsets.

would be amazing to get the drill bank going this has been a 2 year project when i can find time and its annoying me now keep looking at it

i have had all the spindles popping down all the wiring side is done so its just the coding side of it now to make do its thing.
are you still using vetric for cad/cam

Yeah I am, I've been thinking of using something else, particularly with HSM, but I've been strapped for time for ages and haven't gotten around to doing it let alone any actual CNC work. I think Fusion360 does HSM?

Once you post your files, I'll take a look at it.

I'm assuming hsm is horizontal drilling ? if so then yes it defiantly does might even be possible from vetric with drawing it as a model and adapting pp to know what to do when it comes to horizontal.
how do I upload files on here I'm new to this forum and cant see it as a option

Not quite - HSM stands for High Speed Machining (I think!) which means the software creates more efficient toolpaths in a way that tries to keep the cutting tool moving at a near constant speed, i.e. reduces acceleration and deceleration like when cutting in straight lines, corners, etc.
