    Haas Vf2 with 5 axis trunion B axis zero return offset

    how do you change zero position for B axis (rotary axis, not tilt axis)?
    I have a vice on the trunion which isnt aligned with X and Y, because T-slots on the rotary table aren't aligned properly, so I rotated it manually and noted the position of aligned B axis in debug mode (raw data-encoder data).
    I tried entering that value to parameter 224, but that changes A (tilt) axis zero position.

    which parameter does the same for B axis?
    thanks

    Would it be possible to enter the "aligned" position as a work offset for the B-axis? That's what I do when aligning a workpiece onto the rotary platter (if I understand you correctly)

    parameter 213 solved it.
    go to alarm screen, enter debug, go to settings, unlock parameters, go to position display, write the value down for b axis when aligned, go to parameters and 213+arrow down, enter that value, voila (if it doesnt work first time, enter same value with minus sign).
