CAUTION Lathe users: MASSO wizards do not manage Lathe tool change position for Automatic tool changers. It is important when using an automatic tool changer that the Gcode be reviewed before running the file to ensure that the tool is moved to a suitable position before the tool change takes place. This is not a problem for manual tool change as the user will move the current tool to a safe location before changing tool.
