I am struggling with getting the Z height correct after a tool change...eg when doing VCarving and using a flat area tool, I always have lines in the workpeice (wood)...I am as carfefull as I can be when doing the second Z zero (new tool to the top of the work peice with my touch plate), but sometimes it is hard to do, so I am ready to build a second fixed touch off plate...
Have a couple of questions...
from what I have been reading, you touch off your first tool as normal, then touch the first tool on your second plate...do you store this value somewhere?
Haven't got is completely in my head yet, on the next tool change, I understand you go to your fixed plate, after you get the new Z dro, do you add, or subtract the difference from your "stored" number? Or am I missing something simple? I would think you would have to offset you current zero to a new zero based on the second fixed probe, jsut not sure what steps to take...is there some example code somewhere?
Thanks
