CNC Tool Transform

Do you use Fusion 360, along with Path Pilot or LinuxCNC?

Maybe this tool can help. It converts mill tool libraries between these platforms. It can create a new, or update an existing library based upon common tool numbers.

For new libraries, I add tools to PathPilot, use an electronic tool setter (ETS) to quickly measure each, then transform the library to Fusion 360, eliminating the need to re-enter the same information. You might prefer to create your tool library in Fusion 360, then transform it to PathPilot or LinuxCNC.

Occasionally, I re-measure high-use tools using the ETS in PathPilot, then update my existing Fusion 360 tool library. Doing so only updates the tool length, leaving feeds/speeds, tool holder, and other properties as set, again eliminating error prone duplicate data entry.

Mill tool libraries are supported. Lathe support is in the works.

Are there other platforms you'd like to see supported? Find bugs? Please send a note to admin at islandcnc.net.

Thanks!

Can you please send me a copy of your tool library to admin at islandcnc.net?

Thanks, debugging now.

None of the tools in your library have a Z length. Is this common? My code is currently designed to ignore tools without a length. Should I default it to 0?
