Awesome video, using this to figure out setting up our old VF3, I came from Fadals using a reference tool and you can specify block side if using a tool setter on the table, so very different
Thanks brother. It really helped me, but I still don't understand that how does the machine respect your tools cutting length. Like what if I have a shorter endmill and a Longer one, won't the 0 be different?
13:53 you dont need if you do it correct. just tell what leght your heimer and measure your part z, but then you need all your toold height be CORRECT. not HASS WAY (some number and -) LOL what tool lenght is positive
10:37 that is so incorrect. it should read -distance from z home(what comes from maxium -z travel + that 5.492). and your tools lenght shoud read +tool height and actually correct lenght LOL not - something
This is the guy (me) making the video. I realize I don’t follow typical machinist protocol. So in what you’re saying, where( or how) do you touch off your tools? I realize most people like to add to tool, I do not. Too much opportunity for me to fat finger. Anyways, what I did here works for me and I have not had a problem with it but I do appreciate your advice. I’m also open to changing the way I do things. Thank you!
12:35 machine z is -5.4222 that how much you moved from home z. your G54 should be -5.4222-tool leght. your tool is 3 inch by eye. so G54 should be -8.4222 NOT +5.something lol., did you allready got it? same as x and y you get machine coordinate why not use machine coordinate on z too LOL
How do you touch off your tools? Yes, I’m not by any means a real machinist. This works for me and makes sense to me and I haven’t had any problems. I am open to trying different ways. Thank you for your advice.

Loving your videos, great stuff.
Very concise, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video very helpful Tks.
Glad you found it helpful!!

No, because each tool has its own length offset
0:15 no need know height from table to workpiece coordinate. only need know what distance from home. its that opposite distance lol
Boom like titans Academy. Copy and paste sentence.
Boom baby!
You don’t move down on the gauge block move down in z then slide it under
While I would agree when touching off carbide tools to hard surfaces, I think it’s not very practical when using this bad boy. I do get your point.

8:22 its not your zero. you are tool height abow
10:37 that is so incorrect. it should read -distance from z home(what comes from maxium -z travel + that 5.492). and your tools lenght shoud read +tool height and actually correct lenght LOL not - something

2:01 its HAAS thats why its so weird LOL bcoz they teach do it so wrong
