just wanted to message back here and explain some of the reasons for the tool wear remap t0101 etc
 

You have the right to use what you need, it doesn't matter why you do it and you don't have to explain it.
But when you share your project with others, you may find that they have different needs and preferences.
I suspect that the vast majority of LinuxCNC users use the standard M6Tn, have programs that use M6Tn, and tool tables that use M6Tn.
When standard LinuxCNC receives, for example, M6T7777, it will look for tool number 7777 in the table and if it does not find it, it will display an error and terminate the operation.
The solution to this problem is very simple - let the user decide whether he wants to use Tn or Tnnnn.
I suspect that you know your program and add one more button is not much work for you...

I did some tests with your big-blue-sim.zip.I made following changes:
1. Gmoccapy instead Axis.
2. Increased font size.
3. Removed comments from toolchange.ngc (looks horrible and unnecessary) :

This is some bug when you use gmoccapy's builtin tolchange :

(Need tool prepared -Txx- for toolchange)
This does nothing, only irritate, so I do not investigation now.
As I wrote, in gmoccapy ~/linuxcnc/nc_files/lathe/lathe_profile.ngc is not loading automaticaly and you must load it manually.

Tux, he has huge industrial machines, not the same as small hobby routers/mills, tool wear is a must on those, not something you can choose to use or not use.

No matters he want, no matters I want. 
If someone share his work, shares for all, not for himself.

Hey tux once I'm finished I can make you a special version if you want with no special tool stuff. I'm integrating my machines with a lot of extra features that provide the other stuff that you need for production CNC machines like part counter and lots of other stuff.

The dream here is just too give back to linuxcnc a bit. I'm not going to bend over backwards to change things for people am making this for me. But I also am happy to accommodate other workflows where I can. Also I never use gmocappy and probably won't want to put the effort into testing on that too..

Also are you testing on the newest config I made. I just tested that again. And using axis fanuc sim. the .ngc file loads automatically. I'm using 2.10 linuxcnc debian iso. (I actually have never managed to replicate your bug but try this latest one please and see if you can find it. Also I been running parts on the production lathe all week and fixing a couple of bugs I found plus new features. This will probably get refined over the next few months and I'll keep adding updates here when I get time.

Tommy can you see if this works for you if you get time I want to get a few 2nd opinions and make sure most people can get this to work.
