Hi all:-
What's the typical procedure used to establish a datum when using a DRO on a mill?
I suppose if you have a hole to indicate you simply locate the quill over the hole and reset the X & Y axis to zero.
What about using an edge finder? Run it in to the edge and preset the axis to the radius of the edge finder (taking sign into account)?
How about on a lathe?
Seems simple, but I want to make sure I'm not missing anything.
Best regards, Spehro Pefhany
