Loading tools when prompted

When the control prompts me to “load tool #2”, can I then go jog the Z axis down, load the tool and then simply press cycle start or will I lose my height?

Roy,

While in a program you can not jog the machine, no. You need to load the tool where the Z axis sits.

Thank you,

So, then make my G30 position so the nut is exposed?
Thanks

I just tried that, but the tool is sitting below the part when the nut is exposed. How would one address that?

Roy,

Im not sure what you mean by “the nut is exposed”, but generally G30 is set with the Z axis at or near home position.

Thank you,
Norman
