I've only done basics with G code on Haas mills. and even more basic on a Mazak Mill. (didn't know how to call tooling in the rush I was in so I worked around it) This Mitsubishi LT-350 lathe with Navi is a bit different. On the Haas it's just T1 T2 T12 T20 T32 etc. On lathe I've seen T0101 and T303 T909 T707. I don't understand it that well. There is also some sort of tool registration that makes it more difficult to understand. (So not only the tool number, but the tool registration number) I was trying to call tool 3 in the turret with T203 and it kept on giving me tool 2 on the turret, which is a C drill. This was a tool number in the tool file, so I assumed it was being used. After fiddling with it for a while it was found that T303 would give me the right tool. I just don't understand what the numbers mean in the T code. What is the first 0 in T0101 mean? What if I just went T101? What if I put in T111 or T100 or T110? Does each number place have a specific meaning? For now I think everything repeats it's first number in the 3rd number spot. I'm not sure about any tooling 10 and over. (12 tool turret)
The first number in a 3 digit T code seems to correspond with the tool, but what do the others mean?
