So using Hood's method, the tool table will be relatively safe unless the home switches are tampered with in some way?
My next question is - how do you replace a tool or add another at a later date and keep its relationship with the rest correct?
I can see how it works if you populate the library in one go but if i remove and replace the spindle etc surely i have lost my reference??
Nice, is that controller self-contained so no pc to fail etc??Yes self contained but on the other hand if something fails it more than likely means a new controller
Could it replace Mach3 when you have trickery going on with tool length being passed to a knee axis or is that stuff still the sole domain of Mach??
Hows the plasma running ?
I see your lathe homes pretty close to the work area, my mill homes bottom left so my "lathe" Z area will be about 300mm plus from home zero.
