CNC Mill-Turning "Z" Height Solution

Hey guys, This is my first upload about using your CNC Mill as a CNC Lathe. There are already some great videos out there on the subject but I wanted to add on a little trick that I thought of to help expedite the process of setting up stock in the spindle and touching off just a single “Z” height that will work for all of your different work offsets. This works well using Fusion 360 CAM and Tormach’s Pathpilot. I suspect it would work with other software/controller solutions as well.

Many thanks to Jason Hughes    • Видео   as well as Threadexpress    • CNC Mill Turning  , Dragonwrath Innovations    • Turning with a CNC Mill - Multiple La...  , and JohnGrimsmo    • Knifemaking Tuesdays Week 48 - Vertic...   for their excellent videos on mill-turning.

I’ve only had my mill for a couple of months so please excuse me when I repeatedly speak of moving in thousandths when I mean to say one-hundred thousandths or whatever nomenclature I happen to be abusing. I think I get it right at least a few times!

Cheers,


Erik
