#300 Tool Info

Description

User-String-Variable #300 makes tool information from the Fusion 360 Tool Library available. This variable will be updated before each tool change command.

This is an example of a #300 information string:

#300 = "T1  D=4. TAPER=90deg - ZMIN=-1. - spot drill - 4mm Spot Drill"

The information is a combined string of

• Tool Number
• Tool Diameter
• Corner Radius (if any)
• Taper Angle (if any)
• ZMIN (Minimum tool length required for this operation)
• Tool Type
• Tool Description

Information Source

These are the information sources in Fusion 360 for these parameters:

Tool Number

Post Processor Tab of the Fusion 360 Tool Library

Tool Diameter, Corner Radius, Taper Angle, Tool Type

Cutter Tab of the Fusion 360 Tool Library

Tool Description

General Tab of the Fusion 360 Tool Library

ZMIN (Minimum tool length required for this operation)

This value is calculated by the Post Processor based on the Tool Path and the total depth the tool needs to cut. So the Flute Lenght/Tool Stickout from the Holder must be at least the length of ZMIN.
