How to set the tool Offsets and use in PathPilot:
- Change the Turret to the corresponding slot (i.e. "T04" if the block is mounted in the space for Tool 4)
- Change to a tool that is not part of the turret's tool (so any number above 8). For example: "T14" (using a value that is 10 or 20 above the slot makes for an easy way to remember)
- Set the offsets the same way you would for any other tool.
- Remember that when you need to switch to a given tool from a program to first switch to that tool slot and then to the specific tool:
- "N990 (Prep For op)"
- "N1000 T04"
- "N1010 T14"
- "N1020 (Perform op with offset tool)"
Depending on the use, it is also possible to use a dual tool/offset approach (use with caution and test before use): T0x0y where x defines the tool number and y defines the offset (so T0409 would set tool 4 on the turret and apply offsets for tool 9)
