yup, that's why I noticed too. I thought "touch off" would be more
like "this is (0, 0, 0)" and just hit that button once...
I guess I got lucky a few times.

That is how I do it. There are three radio buttons, one for each axis. It
defaults to the last axis moved which is usually z.

I was just playing with it a bit,
I have the idea, that , like homing is done per axis, "touching Off" is
done per axis too?
thanks,

On a Mill setup, touch-off only affects the Z axis. You will need to

your X0, and Y0 positions. I use the end key to bring up the dialog and
set the offset.

Hello,
this is probably a rookie question, but sometime when I do a "Touch
Off", the Z-position indeed becomes 0, but the X and Y are not. Then
in teh axis program, it will still go to the "first" spot where it needs
to start milling, and in the drawing it fllows the correct
lines/pattern, but since the tuch off wasn't in the origin (0, 0, 0) on
the actual workpiece/part the machining is off (and consequently goes
out of the material, and starts milling air at some point.
I am wondering why that happens? Is that a mistake I sometimes make in
Freecad, or is that something I do wrong touching off? (I am fairly sure
it is not a bug).
How can I make sure that I am actually touching off at (0, 0, 0) ?
thanks,
Ron
