Everyone needs are different because we all do different type of work with the machines. I mainly only do prototype work. Therefore the tool setter is valuable to me. For the type of parts that I do it isn’t uncommon for me to have 10 or 12 tool changes in 1 op. Because of NDA reason I can’t disclose what I do however having some other features in the software would be helpful like cutter comp. and can cycles. IMHO
I want to say at least 4-6 weeks out, I will do my best to ship it out faster though. I’ll focus on getting the tool setter bug fixed and will possibly get an update shipped out with just that as the update and nothing else if it means I get it out a week or two earlier.

If you haven’t already I would give us a call or email us at support@langmuirsystems.com if you are still having issues
And essentially that is supposed to be how it works, it just runs a standard probing sequence (G38.2 I believe) down till it either hits the tool setter or bottoms out at the soft limits that are set. There shouldn’t be much of a difference between the probing sequences from the previous version, and this new version.
tool changes are a massive time suck. I just use a smaller tool that can do more things. I bore a lot of holes that most people would drill just to save time on tool changes. Now if you’re dealing with lots of undercuts that require special tooling there is no way around that.
