Hello all,
this is my first post and yeah don't really know where to begin.
sorry if it is in the wrong place but like i said i didn't know where to start.
i have done a lot of looking into building on of these machines, but one question i have is once it is created how do you set the 0 point for the height of the Z-Axis when you change the material thickness/tool length or when i have muiltiple programmes to run in different thicknesses or tool changes inside the programme?? or do i just need to programme it to suit my machine once i build it??
also when programming is done and if i have tool changes will it pause and wait while i do this or do i need to run different programmes for the different tools??
Any help would be thanked.
