RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] EMC G10

This is my first post to this list. All in all I think that there are a
bunch of really bright people on this list. I've learned volumes in the
last 2 weeks of reading this list. I only know a little bit of G code, but
what I know about offsets is that you need to specify the length of the tool
for each particular offset operation.

I could be wrong on this but I think the L2 word in that command is for the
lenght of the tool in that particular offset.

~Folks:
~
~In reading the documentation for EMC, there's one parameter in the G10
~command that I don't understand - the L2 parameter. As I understand it, G10
~means set up an offset location, Pn (=1-9) means set it up for G54-G59.3,
~and X thru C specify the axis coordinates which are set to 0.
~
~So, what is the L2 for?
