If that's so, then no amount of software correction will allow you to drill a perpendicular hole. This is because software correction only corrects one point - the tool tip. The rest of the tool is expected to be directly above the tip (on a mill), which it isn't on your machine. So the tool tip will go straight down, by moving X/Y to compensate Z, and the top of the hole will be a slot. This is a very bad situation. - Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Join us December 9, 2009 for the Red Hat Virtual Experience, a free event focused on virtualization and cloud computing.
