Lathe Tool Setter
Has anyone used a lathe tool setter like the one in the link? The Slant Pro lathe does not have an ETS option that I know of.....
Seems kind of expensive however if it saves setup time... in the long run it would pay for itself....

Re: Lathe Tool Setter
Looks like you could do the same thing with a Haimer for $200 cheaper. And also use it on your mill. The only difference I see is the cylindrical probe tip instead of the ball on the haimer.Originally Posted by smokediver576
The SPL15 controller looks like it has the DIN connector for the electronic probe. Too bad the PP tool offset screen in lathe mode doesn't include use of this capability, although implementation would be more difficult since you need to probe in two directions.

I've got the Haimer for my 1100 but the tip geometry would make setting lathe tools quite difficult. In the PP 2.0 lathe mode, I do not think there is any settings for probing or tool setting like there is on the mill.... Also, not sure about the DIN plug either.....

I'm not sure this would work that great, I use a digital Haimer on my Hass and it's mounted in a tool holder and calibrated and it stays in that holder.
On the lathe, if you put it in a 3 jaws chuck, nothing will guarantee it will be concentric.
