I am using the Mach 2/3 ATC Arcs Inch post. I would like to add a line in the post to do a G53 Z0, to bring the spindle up at the end of each tool. Then of course, have the control go back to the work offset used prior to the toolchange (G54, 55, etc....).
Any help available with the code to do this?
Thanks,
Scott

begin TOOLCHANGE
"[N]G53 G0 Z0"
"[N]T[T]M6"
"[N] (Tool: [TOOLNAME])"
"[N]G43H[T]"
You'll still be in the same work offset you were in.
