v5-VMC1300-M34-Rotate tool changer 1/2 turn CW

To enable the M34 - Rotate tool changer 1/2 turn CW on a VMC 1300 in VR Milling v5. You must jog the Z axis as far up as possible to give you a + read out on the screen when MACHINE POSITION is selected in the read out window, and the X axis must be jogged as far to the left as possible. Doing this will help avoid any crashes. Once this is done, don't forget to get tool position No1 aligned with the spindle and select M27 to re set the carousel counter. Do some test tool changes without any tooling in so you don't have any crash until you are sure everything is working correctly.
