I recently took over a CNC mill with a TS27R tool setter and I'm having trouble getting it to work properly. I don't have a spindle probe so I'm just trying to get the tools set.
The tool setter is calibrated and indicated level. I have a carbide dowel which I use as a master to calibrate and set my work offset Z 0.0. I run a macro to set the other tools.
When I run the program the tools won't come close to my work. I have tried subtracting the tool length from my work offset Z but it's still about 1-2 inches above the work.
What am I missing?
