Let me see if I can explain this.
I have calibrated the tool offsetter using a "master" with a .2552 gauge pin according to the instructions.
I have used the tool offsetter to get the offset for the Probe itself.
Probe has been calibrated per the instructions as well.
I have used the Probe to find the Z offset to the table itself (G55)
Now....
I have set a tool using the offsetter. Tool 3 is 1/2" endmill.
I go to MDI - input G90 G55 - G43 H3 - G0 Z2. (This sends tool 3 to 2" above the table)
When I go to check it and I put a 123 Block under the tool I have to lower the tool .006 to get it to touch the top of the block.
Where could this .006" error be coming from? Is is the Probe or the tool offsetter?
