Am I right in thinking that the way to set the "Master Tool" is by placing a piece of stock in the spindle and then making a facing cut in Z (say tool 1 is used) and then go to the G54 work Z offset and hit Z0Measure and then doing the same in the tool geometry Z offset for tool 1.
Then take a cut on the X, measure the diameter (say .500)and go to tool 1 geometry offset for X and hit 'X .500 Measure'
The with all other tools just use the touch off method from there on?
I hope I've made some sense, I know it's a basic task but I wanted to get an answer more specific to Fanuc controls.
Thanks in advance!
