different toolsetter position for special tools

Hi everybody,

I'm looking for a possibility to have different tollsetter position for spezial tools.

For example:

I'm using a 10mm dia. toolsetter and my facemill has 40mm dia. If I change the tool and measure it, the carbits of the facemill are lower than the contact point to the toolsetter.

My idea is to tell linuxcnc that T30 /Facemill hace a slighly different toolsetter position to achive a carbite contact to the toolsetter.

Any suggestions?

hi
do you use the G30 position to get the tool to the toolsetter
you can eays remep M6 as to tell if pocket/tool <X use position G30
instet use G31

To be honest, I'm not really familar with linuxcnc yet. I'am using the M6 remap of ver.by probe screen

If your M6 remap is in the form of a G-code routine, then you just need some special handling in that code. Look at the O-word section of the G-code docs for if / then / else etc.
