General Mach Discussion / Re: Using The Knee For Tool Length Comp....

You and me both Ray
I have never used length comp on the mill as on the Bridgeport it just has the quill driven and the range of tools I use (long drills to tiny endmills) I thought it a waste of time setting it up. With the Beaver I am going to do exactly the same as you have done, and eventually hope to make a toolchanger as well, will have to put the thinking cap on.
Would length comp ever not be used if you were using the tooltable?
