Re: Okuma 4020 Tool Offsets :(
hi zgc
i don't have a machine like yours, but you may need to use H [ argument <> 0 ]
H0 is pointless, or it may mean something pretty strange, like a number hanging in there, relative to encoder origin
just like mr Wizard said, use g15h1 so to declare program origin ( part face, relative to table face )
after that, recall g15h1, so to check that everything is ok, and bring in another tool, close to part face ( use a setter, etc ), then go to tool offset page and use call ( this will input tool offset, relative to spindle line probably )
when you use both g15h0 & g15h1, you simply make things worse
so far so good, but for all these to work, you need to declare g15h1 by using a calibrated tool, otherwise, you will be spining in circles for the infinity ( you will be shifting z offset origin point ) / kindly
