Good morning,
I am experiencing a tooling error which I can't understand....
Attached is the job file, code, and the export.
Sheet 3 is asking for a tool between 0.237 and 0.119 and I do not know why.
Tenons are set to 51% of 0.475" material (0.24225)+ 0.013" fit clearance = 0.25525"
I thought that should be enough clearance to get the 1/4" tool in there.
In fact, I changed the 1/4" tool in tooling setup to .2" and wrote the code, then changed it back to .25" before running the job and all was good.
I still cannot explain why the tooling error occured though.
Any help or insight would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I looked at your cabinet and you have the thickness set to 50% of .475. This is where it is getting the .237 to .119. It does not take into account the clearance when selecting the tool. Hope this helps.
So the tooling selection is based ONLY on the percentage of material thickness? Never knew that. Thanks Daniel, appreciate the response.
FYI the .twd is at 51% but I forgot to save the changes to the job file. But I guess if I'd done 53% it would have worked then.
Thank you!
