Im using a Doosan Puma 3100. Ive never used a quicksetter before i would always just manually make a small shoulder cut, use a mic to indicate it and than have that set as my X diameter while manually setting the Z length via touching off the tool as well?. Can i just touch off all my tooling on the Quick Setter probe X and Z, write up a program and the machine will automatically set the tooling to said program? Meaning i dont have to touch off any tools to an actual piece? The manual doesnt give alot of information on it any help is appreciated thanks.

You use the quick setter to setup your tooling and then use a tool to (usually) do a slight face cut and set it to z zero. Once the tooling is setup with the quick setter it’s only the z touch off that you do for each job. When you do a tip change you can redo a quick setter for it or take a cut measure and do a tool offset.

When using the Q-setter, the program that is being used has a work offset referred to as ( G54-G58 ) 1st I set ( touching the Q-setter )my tool geometry usually my turning tool in X as well as Z after with the Q-setter with the work piece in the chuck ,touch the surface that the program is using as "0" with the turning tool after you touch ( I use a piece of paper ) do not move the machine in "z" jog up in "x" to clear the work piece and go to the WORK offset page it is normally G54 highlight the "Z" axis and type in Z0 and the push the soft key Measure that sets the work offset for z0 , the "x" work offset is usually 0
