Watch out for
- If M6 Initiates Tool Change is No, any T word changes the tool and M06 is ignored.
- With the default Yes, a T without M06 prefetches the next tool.
- A G43 offset stays on after the change. Program a new G43 H for the new tool.
Machine builders set many M codes, and they change by model and options. Check the M code list for your machine.
