i have a simple part that it looks like dolphin coded right.
now on the tool offsets, i have a front profile tool. this is x and z zero.
in the back i have a parting tool.
it is 7" away from the front tool and .700" closer to the chuck.
what do i put in the tool offsets to make this work?
this is all with having no tool offsets in dolphin and same front turret.
thanks for the help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

on a side note, should i be expecting "jog follow" and "tool position" to work in the machturn?

i tryed to use the front and rear tools too but that just dropped me in the 7th level of hell on dolphing and machturn. LOL
i have a good handle on all of the coding and such but for the life of me i cant get the dolphin to play nice. lol
