Radius instead of tool diameter in milling tool table was created by Wischi
Hello,
is it possible to use the radius instead of the tool diameter in a milling config tool table? I am using a tool presetter which only outputs the radius of a tool. Sadly it can't be changed.
Thanks.

Thank you! But i was more thinking when having the tool table open (in gmoccapy) and entering the values. Because there, the column is in diameter. When you use the G10 command it actually multiplies the radius by 2 and enters that into the tool table.
But you’ve given me an idea: Write a gmoccapy macro which asks tool#, radius and length (all on label from presetter) and then run a G10 L1 P# R# Z# to update the table. This also prevents from entering values into the wrong column.
