I have a quick question and you guys are so knowledgable on here. I have try searching here for the answer but have not found it.
I have a Bridgeport Series II R2E4 Boss 8 and was wondering if it can handle work offsets (G54, G55, ....). I have two vices and would love to utilize them both. I am working with mastercam and bobcad if that helps in any way.

Thank you in advance!

Note, I have a R2E3
G54 is not available on the Boss 8 control, one alternative would be to use the G97 code (instructions attached) The other method since you are using a cad/cam program would be to do an array on the drawing to correspond to you fixtures.(mastercam ...Xform..Rectangular array ....)

Thank you very much. Seems like it would be easier to just measure my vice positions with an edge finder after squaring them up and use array as you said. I will try both just so I know how to do both.

Thank you for the information and perfect answer!!
