hi guys. probably a dumb question, but is there a way to use the manual jog dial to jog at a particular angle?
ie. if i want to cut an end mill into a work piece at a 25 degree angle manually i'd like to put it in the vice (which i know is square) and then just manually drive an end mill into it, how can i do this?
if i use a protractor or some other manually way of measuring the angle, that would work, but it won't be super precise.
obviously i could figure out how to code this up, but i just thought i'd ask in the off chance that there is a way to set angle of travel manually so that i can enjoy the high precision of the mill.
is this possible, or is this just really dumb?
