Workflow Wensday: Setting Mill Tool Offsets Using Gauge Length

In this video you will see how Phil B modifies a Fusion 360 Post Processor to use overall length to output G10 Set Offsets (FANUC/HAAS) making it possible to send tool length information to your machine via Gcode allowing you to standardize tooling accross your Milling Machines with a offline presetter or just a good old fashion hight gauge.
Line of Code
writeBlock("G10","L10","G90","P" + toolFormat.format(tool.number), "R" + xyzFormat.format(tool.overallLength));

No problem 👍

Hi, cool video. In the preferences - preview features you can activate the gauge length for the tool library. Does it not work?
Greetings David.

If you access to the Preivew Feature than yes however its not outputing in the Gcode as this time which is why I used the length Parameter.

Ah ok... Thanks for the info. Maybe it will work out soon 😉@@JITCADCAM
