1) Under the probe there is a outisde corner and inside corner. These both are designed to touch the part on the x axis and the y axis twice. The length of the first touch is not adjustabe on either axis, whats its purpose?
2) One the tool setter, if you have the diameter measured as well as the length I see it gets recorded on the screen by the length. But my question is will the machine actually change my gcode that was input from Bobcad? Of would I need to take the measurement thats displayed by the measurement and enter it into bobcad and repost the code?
I know the capabilites are far greater on what this system can do. Of course I'd like to use it for much more down the road. What would be the best way to learn its capabilities? Are there books, vdeos, etc?
Thanks
