Ottoluck, sorry for any offense, that is the problem with the written word and the time delays.
I've done the same, I'm in low gear, I'm staying in low gear, its been a while, but I get it.
Stu, I can live with that explanation, it makes sense.
I had quite a few old timey guys in the shop that I ran. Most from manual machines only or button pushing CNCs, I made them set them up. Some had a really hard time with the edgefinders and .0001 pulse. It wouldn't "snap" hard enough for them. If it was in .001 pulse, they had a much easier time. On .0001 pulse, since they were not sure, they would pull off a couple thou, and flick the edge finder, then go back in. They where .002 off the part, its not going to wiggle anymore! thats where the pet peeve comes in, a two minute job turned into a twenty minute job, drove me nuts.
On edit, Bosley Jr, I've done that also, I don't think it is particuarly accurate, but it is quick, if you don't need to be dead nuts on, perfect solution. Sucks on a CNC, you definitely need a quill handle in your hand. Another taught to me by an old timer.
