Re: Driven point for turning tools imported via CAD models

Thank you very much Mustapha,

I guess that we can wait a little bit for this enhancement once all our tools, except on an very very special cases, are defined by its center. But for the facing heads our tool are defined by its tip due the tool probing routine on the machine, I mean, facing head tool can't be measured on our Zoller machine, so it needs to be setup on the machine tool probe that is just capable to catch the tip. Facing heads can also have different B axis orientations and we also use G41/G42 on that.

Do you see if that it could be a problem also with imported inserts? Or for hollowing operations it works in a different way?   

Tks,
