Thanks - that was really useful.

This is great!

[@Dubconnectgang]

Thanks for this!

I've heard some people say to back off one thou after the edge finder bumps out and go from there, and I've also heard what you're saying and to just go from the point where it bumps out. I usually use a Haimer 3D taster, but I'm having to use one of these for now and I'm wondering which method is actually correct.

The spindle speed can be set-up at 750 rpm, while the doors can be opened.

Should the edge finder be stable when you set X & Y?

I like the broken glass

[@TITANSofCNC]

Believe it or not, that was from a camera light that heated the glass...lol.

@@TITANSofCNC that's So sad, it would be so expensive to fix 😓🙁

[@allensalazar310]

wiplash w sir can i ask cause something little bit confuse Why X is added .1 in value instead is minus cause the diameter of edge finder is .200mm example:(X value is 13.1) + .1=13.2 or (13.1 )-.1= 13.00 which one is correct can you explain it me sir im confuse on that thank you so much hear soon..take care

[@mamdouhnoshy7377]

Please, do I have to do the edge finder for the different tools in the Mastercam program. Thank you

[@brandsthatcreatelitter1648]

I’ve been edge finding with foil or a Rizzla. Got a mystery 20 thou error, either I’m not paying enough attention to wheel divisions or my table leadscrew is screwed😭😭😭🤣❤️

[@averageinvestor4423]

So you subtracted on the y offset by -0.1 but added to the x ? 0.1? Why is this ?

[@mamdouhnoshy7377]

Moving the edge finder to the right side is (+), and moving it to the left side is(-). It will be easy for you to find out the directions of (X, Y& Z) Axis, concerns (+)& (-)

[@Rob-vh9sn]

Basically whether you add or subtract .1 is dependent on which side of x0 you're edge finding. If you're on the positive side, you add.

[@PLRAHAPL]

I wanna know story of that crack in glass

[@xdygmnyrdf]

thats industry secret

[@shanescharer8686]

Alway bring it to zero over the part and look to make sure its center...just saying
