What parting tool are you all using for this tool changer?

I've just realised a MGEHL1010 has a carbide mounting head that is too long to allow rotation. On a TCL160 at least. It seems you only have about 25mm clearance from tool turret to bed during a rotation.

This post looks great and just what I'm looking for for my 160TCL.
However, I have a concern regarding the angle of rotation for the turret.
I read that  not all indexes are 45 deg because some tools are square shank and others are round ??
Strange. My turret index wheel is evenly machined with 8 sections at 45 degrees. I've measured these and it is correct. The tool positions are machined in appropriately at these index positions to compensate this (Which is normal for any CNC turret)
Did the turret design change at some point over the years?
Would it be as simple as altering the rotation values in .comp for 45 each ?

It's been a while since I've worked on this but I would think that changing this:
Code:
param rw float odd_move = 43 "distance from odd tool station to even one"; param rw float even_move = 47 "distance from even tool station to odd one";

to this:
Code:
param rw float odd_move = 45 "distance from odd tool station to even one"; param rw float even_move = 45 "distance from even tool station to odd one";

might do the trick.

Thanks for the quick reply :)

That's what I was thinking. I'll give a try when I get it setup.
Thanks !!

I need to see the .INI file to see how it is laid out and compare it to my file.
Would this be possible?
