Hey guys, I just finished my mini lathe tooling plate, I made it so it has huge capacity and two tool posts that accept up to 1/2" and up to 3/8" tool bits.
I will be running turbocnc, will I be able to change tool offsets on the fly? On the big lathes at work that have a similar configuration, we just call them all the same tool with different offsets, its like this: M6 T1 2 or smething similar, I dont remember as it is conversational code.
If I cant change offsets, I would have to measure between tools and that would flat out suck for programing and changing the tools etc.
I havent gotten it hooked up to a computer yet, I am waiting for my spindle encoder and breakout board from cnc4pc. I have previously had the lathe running with big nema34 motors from my mill.
