Hi,

Somehow I'm missing the usefulness of all this touchoff stuff.
Can you explain how it is different from just clicking in the DRO and
entering the position you know you are in, ( Work Radis plus guage
thickness)?

I am looking into the spindle now, but I was wrong about the
offsets. Or at
least mine seems to work.

Try this in this sequence.

Put in a piece of stock. Jog to the edge, If the stock is 30mms
thick, type
30 into the Touch Correction box and turn it on. The LED shoudl
flash. Now

Jerry:

If you enter it in the DRO, that is the same as a G92, which is not
saveable, if you use touchoff, you can tough to fixture or tool, and that is
saveable.
Thats the only difference.
