Was curious, when setting up a part and the offsets, when you put a new tool in machine lets say T1, and you touch off your work offset, and tool heigh offset, do you do one before the other? Also would you typically zero out the position of the tool after replacing T1 with the new tool prior to touching off?
@mattchew4161 - it's not necessary in all cases to pick up one offset before the other. But saying that, if you are picking each tool up individually off the top of your part (work z datum) let's say, then setting your work z datum first would make sense. If you don't require picking each tool up off the surface of your part and perhaps you're picking your tools up off of a 1-2-3 block or perhaps you have a tool pre-setter machine, then you can touch off your work z datum before or after your tools offsets have been picked up and entered. I'll try and get a video for picking up datums uploaded in the very near future.
Good day Santo, sorry I haven't posted yet. I have been working on a new video series and this ended up taking a back seat. I will record a feed and speed video this week and post it. Thanks for the reminder. If you have subscribed to my channel and turned on notifications then you will see when the video goes up. Have a great day making chips!

I use the g49 function like parmesan on pasta but I can't understand the usefulness of recalling the g43 function.. If I insert the T1 tool into the spindle which I hear defines g43 h1. It seems obvious to me to attribute its length to that tool. I'm not stupid enough to call T1 and give it the value h2. I hope I didn't guess the use of the g49 because it's really stupid. I consider g49 useful instead because it is useful for obtaining dimensional tolerances.
@stefanodeberardinis Thank you for your thoughts. G49 is mostly useful in the safety line. This is just in case a machine was shut down or the power went out while a tool was not homed after use. G49 just cancels the last tool length that was compensated for. Remember that if you use G43, it stays active until you use G49. So if use use G49 "like parmesan" then you will have to call up G43 for the next tool you call up. Only G43, G44 or G49 is active at any time. Thanks again for reaching out.

Hi Adam have you had time to put the speeds and feeds up for the bridge port mill

Adam thank you buddy I can’t wait to get out in my shop and try it. Again thanks
Yes I put up the Mill Feed and Speed video and messaged you a month ago. I think you may have watched it already.
