You're right - the touch-off switch is mounted at a fixed location and moving to that position isnt the problem This works fine if the tool diameter is much less than the tool length switch surface (in my case some 20mm diameter) if you have a large mill tool, you'd touch off with a flute and not with the center - there's no way I'll hit the 20mm diameter switch properly with a 63mm mill that's where the jog comes in of course a legit recommendation to fix the problem is 'buy/build a tool length switch with a 70mm diameter plate' -m ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA(R) Conference 2012 Save $700 by Nov 18 Register now http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
