I'm seriously considering moving to Eding from Mach3. Mach3 is great WHEN it works. I had some recent behavior of my machine that has me about spent with Mach3 and I want to switch. I downloaded the software it looks great. The hardware price is really good as well.
My only hesitation is that I can't find anything on how to touch off your tools, weather that be on a mill or lathe. Do all tool lengths need to be measured offline via a height gage? With the mill that's easy, but the lathe, that can get tricky. I understand custom macros can be written to use a touch plate, but I just need a simple function to be able to touch tools off on the machine. Is this possible? It seems elementary, but I must be missing something. Thanks in advance.
