Q: We are producing the same parts on a CNC lathe with GSK 980 TD CNC control, but the length of material are not the same, it needs to change tools to finish the job, so we have to adjust tool compensation for each part, is there any better solution for this?

A: We suggest to use G31, when the tool touch the end of the material, then use the G50 to define the Z coordinate position.
