#68 Z Jog while porgram paused for toolchange

[Greg]

For those of us with R8 tooling (or most any collet tooling) being able to adjust the 0 of the Z axis would be very beneficial. I don't see any way to do this in the documentation, and tool length offsets are too variable with collets. I'd like to put a simple touch off height block on the table at the toolchange location and zero each tool at the toolchange and continue to program.

[Steve Blackmore]

Agreed, with the addition that you should be able to jog any axis whilst paused. (lathe or Mill). It's impossible to replace a broken insert, or manually change and zero tools.

I interpret OP's feature request as asking for a way to set TLO after a toolchange, not specifically asking for jog-while-paused.

Setting TLO as part of a toolchange is possible in LinuxCNC 2.6 and later using remapping. See the sample config sim/axis/remap/manual-toolchange-with-tool-length-switch for an example.

I know people are using this technique to accomplish OP's desired functionality on real machines.

I just mentioned this because I saw the comment from Steve Balckmore
associated with this feature request.

Thanks

Rick
