Re: [Emc-users] DAQ of the day.
Hi David, G92 seems to work, I will try that when I move the EMC computer to the shop tomorrow and try once again to cut some parts with EMC. Last weekend I had to switch back to Mach3 because the frustration factor got way too high with EMC. Thanks for the help.

Re: [Emc-users] DAQ of the day.
Jon, Also notice that when you "touch off" it asks you what coordinate system you want to set via the touch off. For some reason I tend to use G55 on my lathe. Then after I am all setup. I have a G55 near the top of my program to get into that coordinate system and run the program. As you can see there are a number of ways to do this...

If you change the view to "Relative" either from the menu or by pressing "#" then you will see the current working coordinate values. Note that you are _always_ on one of the working coordinate systems. You have to use special G-codes to move in the absolute machine coordinate space. The distinction might not be clear in cases where the working coordinate system has no offset from the machine coordinate system, and this will often be the case for a machine with no home switches. However, any G0, G1, G2, G3 etc move will always move in the current (probably G54) coordinates. So, for a machine with no home switches the start-up process would be: Select Absolute coordinate view Move to the extreme limits of travel of each axis. Home the axes from the GUI with the "home" button. I think you will see the machine coordinates take on the home position values from the INI file, but I could well be wrong. To save time and trouble you could set the home position to be mid-travel and set the axes limits symmetrical about this point. Change the view to Relative Coordinates Jog to where you want X=0 and Y=0 to be, set them to zero (or some other value) with the touch-off button. Bring your tool down to the height setter, select Z, press the touch-off button and type in your 2" tool height value. You should now be good to go. Clicking the DRO in Mach sounds to be doing exactly the same thing as EMC touch-off. There is also the option of touching-off into the Tool table, which can be useful for machines with multiple tool holders, less so for single collet machines. There is a lot more info on the Wiki, http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/emcinfo.pl?CoordinateSystems Bear in mind that my understanding of this issue is incomplete, and I don't have a machine here at work to experiment with.

Re: [Emc-users] DAQ of the day.
Sorry for taking so long to respond to this, jury duty is keeping me busy and tired. At any rate, I out of habit use machine coordinates all the time. Perhaps a better example of what I would like to be able to do is this. I use a manual tool height setter. I put it a new tool, then jog Z down until the tool height setter shows 0 on its dial. Now I need to be able to tell EMC that the Z axis is at 2 inches above the work. How can I do this in EMC? I have tried the work offsets as suggested and that is not working for me. In Mach3 I just click on the Z axis DRO and enter 2.00 and I am ready to go.

I usually home all axis once in axis, then jog to my intended origin, say x->touch off->0,y->touch off->0, and of course z->touch off->0.1 or the minimal amount i am over the piece. I have no home switches.

[Emc-users] DAQ of the day.
Good Morning, I am new to EMC2, I used EMC when I first got into CNC but switched to Mach for many reasons that are not worth discussing here. My question relates to initial part setup. I can't seem to find a simple way to tell my mill where zero is. I use an electronic edge finder, so for esample I jog the X axis around until I couch the left edge of the part. Now, how do I tell EMC2 this is X0.0? If it makes any difference this is a small benchtop mill and the way I work X0, Y0 is the lower left corner of the part or material and none of my g-code uses the G54 - G59.3 Select Coordinate System codes.
