dado tooling
Ever since the update to 5.02 on the controller my dados are all being cut with the 3/8\" bit instead of the 1/2\" bit that it has been using for several months. What do I need to do to force the cnc to use the 1/2\" bit again?

Incorrect tool for Dado
Matt,
You need to verify the size of the dado being cut to be sure the 1/2\" diameter tool will work. If you have a .5\" wide dado or less it obviously won't select that tool. Make sure the diameter of that tool is set up correctly in tool management. (F10, F9, F2). Make sure for example, you didn't accidently miss the decimal point and the diameter is set to 5 instead of .5! The other thing you should check it the priority level of that tool as it is set in the list of operation tools in the tooling dialog of the Control Nesting Software. If you have a 3/8\" dia. tool set up higher in the list of operation tools it will use that tool first. If you want to force it to use the 1/2\" dia. tool you will need to set that tool higher in the list of operation tools.

Jason And Josh,
Thanks for responding but I was able to sidestep this problem. I erased all tooling and re-entered the exact same tools and there functions and was able to proceed without incident. Who knows why!? Thanks again.

Mike, Good to hear from you! I am glad everything is going better for you. I knew it would. You had a TON of information to retain attending all of those classes in such a short period of time. If you need any questions answered, don't hesitate to shoot me an email or give me a call and we will get you squared away.
As for the avatar, You definately hit the nail on the head, although it may be a reflection of me every day lately with the big day coming up this weekend!! : )
I've been keeping the line wet. I am sure the area lakes will surrive, but I don't think they could withstand another summer like this past one. You aren't planning on spending another 3 weeks here are you??? : )
