I run a newer VF2-SS and have a question about setting my Z offset. I have my tool library set to 2 inches above the table.
So, if I set up a vise, I use my 2 inch indicator on the way of the vise. Then I subtract the machine position from the tool length. And then subtract 2.0 (height indicator) from the number I come up with. That new number is then put in as my g54 Z offset for the tools to be set on the ways of my vise.
I know there has to be a better, more efficient way to do this, so any help would be appreciated.
