I have updated Visualmill to 2015 in order to have a Pathpilot post for my Tormach Mill
The program stops three lines before the end of the file.
M6 T0 (stops and asks for a tool change to T0 then press cycle start.)
M5 M9
M30
T0 is set up to have a 0 offset in the tool table (recommended by Tormach)
1. What is the reason for this code to be there.
2. Can it be removed so that the coolent and spindle can be switched off and the code returns to the start without my input.
Many thanks.
John.

Re: Pathpilot post stopping before end of program
John,
T0 was added to the post processor based on the post processor guidelines & sample g-code for Path Pilot controller that was supplied to us for Tormach CNC.
If you would like to have this removed, you can edit the post processor by selecting Post under program tab and click Edit next to current post processor from the Set Post Processor Options dialog. Now select the Start/End section from the left panel and over on the right panel under program end code delete the following line
[SEQ_PRECHAR][SEQNUM][DELIMITER]M6 T0
Save and close the post processor.
