Mach4 General Discussion / Variable offset in Mach4
« on: December 26, 2018, 12:45:26 PM »
Hi, I am new to CNC but want to retrofit a 30 year old lathe. I would like to know if Mach4 can do the following:
I want to build a shaft with a diameter 200.01mm. The bed of the lathe ist worn out and so the shaft will be 200.10 at one end, 199.90 in the middle and 200.15 at the other end. (Just an example, no real measure).
Programm #1 says X=200.01 all the way and Programm #2 has an X- value which changes and that not even constantly. So there would be two active programs at one time with different values in X.
Is there a solution?
Cheers Frank
