Ok, think I have figured it out, most of it at least. Had to make a visual representation of the HAL finnstrom posted. See attachement. Also got it sort of working on my machine. Tanks so much!Some things I'll try to adopt

• Instead of controlling with coolant-mist, I would do it with a motion.digital-out pin controlled with M62 and M63
• Trying to get the w_offset from actual w0 in current coordinate system. My thought is to touch of both Z to the work piece, and set w0 in G54 (for example) at the desired height. Then, somehow in HAL, calculate the w0 offset from w joint zero. In the (unlikely) event that I need dust shoe for G55 etc, this should enable this to work.
• In conjunction with above, I think I need jogging to work (in qtdragon) to easy set w0 current coordinate system.

Thank you so much I am still having problems setting up the limit and home switches in the main hal , I used mesa CT here are my files, I noticed you used the code down below but i cant seem to replicat it without error

You are correct I have a paid license. I used to use the free version some time ago and I don't remember it having that limitation but I know they have made multiple license changes over time for the free version which is unfortunate. Glad to see you have made a solution to work around it.

I don't use axis but this post may be similar to what you are looking for:

Hi,
I'm trying to run a little test program, and it aborts with the fault message: 'Motor 0 Positionssfehler (sic!) Position: relativ erwartet' ('motor 0 positioning error position: relative expected').
The program is this:

%
(G90: Set to Absolute Positioning)
G90
(G94: Feed Rate Mode Units per Minute)
G94
(G17: Select XY plane for arc moves for G2 G3)
G17
(G21: Set Units to Millimeters)
G21
(G54: Select coordinate system 1)
G54

G1 X0 Y0 F1000
G1 X10 Y0
G1 X10 Y10
G1 X0 Y10
G1 X0 Y0

M30
%

I'm a bit surprised since I'm setting G90. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

P.S. little typo: 'Positionssfehler' should be 'Positionsfehler'
