I have a Dorian AXA quick change tool-post holder for my CNC machine. It is on a Hardinge HLV lathe retrofitted with CNC.
I have noticed that removing and reclaiming a tool can change the X position by as much as 0.0005" at times. This seems to depend mostly on the pressure used to clamp the tool in place.
Has anyone else had this experience? Is there something one can do to make these holders more repeatable? I want to get it down to 0.0001" if possible. Is Aloris any better?
