This step causes MILLPWR to suspend the program and ask
you to change the cutting tool.
You have several options for filling in this step:
•
Leave it blank; just press USE to insert an “empty” tool
step in the program. When you run the program,
MILLPWR will ask you what tool diameter to use.
•
Type in a DIAMETER .
•
Type in the DIAMETER and select a TOOL TYPE . Now
MILLPWR will let you know what kind of tool you had in
mind when you wrote the program.
•
Select a tool from the Tool Library.
Any time you are entering the tool diameter, a softkey will let you change between
inches and mm.
Position/Drill
This operation is used to move the table at high speed to a
specified position and drill to a programmed depth.
POINT is the X and Y position you want the tool to move to.
DEPTH is normally THRU for holes, but you can set it to a
specific depth.
The TOOL information is from the most recent SET TOOL step;
you can’t change it here.
