    question about 4th. axis

    We have a VF1 mill with the HA5C indexer. Is there any way to zero out the indexer to a different position. I indicated a part flat last night and it was aprox. 8 degrees off zero and I wanted to set a zero there but I could not figure out how,I know with the seperate control box it can be done but I'm not sure how to with the indexer wired directly into the machine.

    Does the "A" axis show up in the offset page?
    If it does, zero out the part and press the "Part Zero Set" button.

    Offset

    Additional axes are set to work offsets the same as the traditional x,y,and z axes.
