If you took a skim cut then you moved the workpiece zero. So setting the tool to be zero at that point should have made it inconsistent with the other tools. (ie, if you put in a new workpiece and faced it with your facing tool, it would face at the old length. And if you then changed to the new tool and faced at Z = 0 it would face off at the slightly shorter new part length.) Perhaps it was just a very light skim cut? -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
