General Mach Discussion / Re: Drill chuck reference on lathe table!!!

Hey Rich
Did a far amount of searching on probing but mostly found getting touch off points and reverse engineering part tracing. Not sure how you would reference a drill chuck to x center point after you start the machine. If there is somewhere to look to find more information or you could give me the procedure you would use to center this chuck after a start up, I would appreciate it. Also are you using a touch plate device or a probe with internal switching?
I am not rapping my head around with out a reference point how you can hit a button and have the machine take the tool post to a certain position.
Thanks
Tom
