What post are you using? I just tested the Mach post and it should work up to 256, I tried tool 125 and it worked fine.

 

Here's the code in mach3.

    if (tool.number > 256) {
      warning(localize("Tool number exceeds maximum value."));
    }

Looking in the Fanuc post it's set to 99. Look in onSection for the code above and change to whatever the highest tool number you need.

@HughesTooling I am use my Y 4th axis post I changed the number from 99 to 999 still fail with tool 101 tryed 299 fail, 256 fail. that's why I ask it should work but fails.

 

I am going to try with the 3 axis mach3 post it's fine this way.

 

I am going to do a compare with the 3 axis Mach post and the 4th axis version, see if I can find what's wrong

 

Thanks Mark

@HughesTooling thank you mark but how silly I found the problem the post did need changed for the tool amount number.

 

Here is the problem I had to change the length offset and diameter offset to 0 for it to work with the 4th axis post the 3 axis post it did not need changed. so that is what I need to find in the 4th axis post but got it going for now.
