Mach4 General Discussion / Mach4 Turn Lathe Tool Table Questions
« on: December 05, 2016, 07:23:40 PM »
Hello - I'm a Mach3 user in the process of converting to Mach4. I'm having problems with the Tool Table and how it applies to lathes. I've observed the following while working in MDI:
1. X Offset seems to work well.
2. X Offset Wear doesn't seem to affect anything.
3. Length appears to hold the Z-axis values and it works well.
4. Length Wear has no impact on Z coordinates but it does effect a change on the X-axis.
Additionally, I don't see any columns related to Lathe oriented cutter compensation such as Quadrant or Tool Radius or Tool Radius Compensation.
I really like Mach4 and I would be sooooo happy if anyone can help me with this.
-Thanks
