Cancel tool offset

[Randy Morton @ Clem Industrial]

Hey,

 

I am looking for the statement to turn off the cacellation of offsets at the end of a lathe cycle (T0900 for example). I just can't seem to recall what it is...

 

Thanks!

this line and variable will show you where it is handled

 

code:

---

drop_offset  : 0     #Drop offset at end of tool? 0 = no, 1 = yes

---

Thanks John!

 

How's the newbie coming at filling your shoes?

Well as of yesterday at 2:30 he's on his own.

 

From a programming aspect given a month or so he'll be up to speed on 60-70% of the work they do.

 

Maintaining the system and getting a grasp on everything else is going to be a major chore.

 

The company had decided(IMO) to cheap it out.

 

I think in 3 months a lot of what I have spent a couple of years building is going to be in disarray.

 

He's a smart kid but it is a big job for one person, especially one without a good base of knowledge to draw on.

 

I expect I will hear from him, I gave him my contact info.

 

Of course I may end up contracting some work from them as well.

Good on ya from the contract perspective.

 

So does that mean you are totally done with them as of yesterday?

As a permanent full-time employee, yes

 

I start my new job Monday am.
