Excellent. G28 was what I was looking for. At least that allows me to remeasure the z offsets for the lathe tools pretty quickly - z travel into a touch plate.
Any suggestions on how to do this with the x axis? Currently, I mount some stock and machine a bit away and measure the diameter. Then I use the Axis "touch-off" command to set the tool offset. > -----Original Message----- > From: Andy Pugh [mailto:a...@andypugh.fsnet.co.uk] > Sent: Monday, 1 March 2010 4:59 AM > To: Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC) > Subject: Re: [Emc-users] Touch off in gcode > > On 27 February 2010 23:33, Frank Tkalcevic > <fr...@franksworkshop.com.au> wrote: > > > Can this be done in Gcode?
