I was curious if there is any cons about moving the tool setter to left side of table on a vf2ss.
I did it last week after 11 years. mainly cause I have a job that runs on the 4th axis h210 and it takes up most of my table and cant set short tools to clear sheet meta;. then when I need to have a vice on I have to run super long tools or take the 4th off. yeah i have the extended Z tool setter part but its not worth putting on as most work is for the vises.
now my 4th is right on the very edge of the right side of the table and I can use a vise at the same time.
because its wireless I do loose about 4 inches of travel on the left side of table which isnt a big deal because the tool setter , but was thinking of possibly moving the sensor thats bolted to the right side of machine on back to left side and turning the tool setter 180 and gainging about 3 inchs.
Has anyone done that?
