MILLPWR
G2
moves to the TOOL POSITION before
prompting the user for a tool change, making it
unnecessary to program a POSITION/DRILL step before a
tool change.
MILLPWR G2 prompts the user to change the tool if the
SET TOOL step has a different tool than the one currently
mounted (as indicated in the status bar). If the REQUIRE
CHANGE field is set to YES, then MILLPWR
G2 will always
pause and prompt the user for a tool change (even if the
SET TOOL matches the currently mounted tool).
Tool length offsets are discussed on the following pages.
If the TOOL TABLE is used to enter a tool, MILLPWR G2
will fill in the DIAMETER, and LENGTH fields in PGM mode
only.
