as long as they can cut, it means that they don't like setting with contact methods above a limit that leads to cracking ... in other words, a more gentle contact method should workDiamond plates VERY do not like contact methods of measurement. Microchip occurs instantly on them
there are devices with a flat/kind or rectangle screen, thus they can easy handle those 10-30um caused by runout, etc - but they are bigger, etcThe cutter teeth have a radial runout of about 10-30 microns, this runout is not adjustable, and if the axis of the microscope is not parallel to the axis of the machine, this will lead to measurement errors
idea of using a microsope is ok, like it works, but you lose precious time because you set it inside the machine, and also it may be a less comfrtable position for the operator that does that alignmentspecifically put the word microscope in quotation marks, because I'm not sure that we need a microscope.
let's try and do that setting outside the machine; please, i need :
... photos with toolholder, so to see the clamping method, height adjustement method, and up/down faces, in order to prepare/check it for outside future setting, because it's one thing to do it outside, and another is to do it inside the machine, so is needed to know how runout changes between outside & in-spindle
... photos with insert
... describe/show those methods that lead to cracking the insert / kindly
