M08 after manual entry

[Programinator]

Im wondering if this is a bug or not. If someone could test it out that would be great.

 

Ok make 2 toolpaths with the same tool. On the 2nd toolpath check the force tool change option. Both toolpaths should have coolant on. Then put a manual entry inbetween them like your going to stop to flip part or something.

 

When doing this i get no M08 on the second toolpath when posting.

 

Trying to figure out if its a setting or mcam bug.

 

Thanks

Worked OK for me.

 

Are you sure it's turned on in the second tool?

Seeing that line right there tells me in the post, the coolant isn't being updated at the end of the previous path.

[DODGERFAN]

you can edit the tool and it will always turn the coolant on for you.

[Programinator]

Looks like Chris figured it out once again. Thanks Chris

Actually in a case like this where the post is not processing the coolant commands on/off properly, not likely that editing the tool will have any effect.
