hi to everybody,
my goal is to use KmotionCNC for lathe control and I realized how confused my knowledge on the Tool Offset issue is. Therefore:
The offset value of each tool to which zero is it referred? Machine zero? If so, I have another problem: my lathe is completely self-built so there is no "Machine Zero pre assigned by the manufacturer" and I don't have a well defined point whose coordinates I know with respect to Machine Zero. Can it be in any position of the lathe axes?
In the KmotionCNC ToolFile, at the offset columns, I note that only the X and Y axes are present while I should set X and Z: should the "Length" column be used for the Z offset?
thanks
