Hello to all, I've been playing and turning several pieces so far but I'm curious about what I did today.
I have set 3 tools on the turret that are the ones I use more often (5 mm grooving tool and left and right VBMT facing tools). So whenever I turn a new part, I only change the G54 offset for the Z axis since all the tools were set at the first use. Today I added a new tool, and what surprised me is that I could do the following: I set the Z offset for the G54 coordinate with the facing tool that was already set and then I took a skim cut with the new unsetted tool on the same face (Z0 position for the workpiece) and touch off the Z axis for that tool with a 0 value. Then I re checked all the other tools and they are all showing 0 on the face of the workpiece. Is this the normal behaviour? or is this just coincidence? Normally, with the mazatrol control I had to take the skim cut and manually do the addition/sustraction for the unsetted tool on the tool table.
