Re: Setting lathe tools with a touch probe V5.08

Could you do a video please Uwe? Your videos are precise and to the point, you could educate some lesser beings!

I'm thinking of investing in a second card for my milling machine and it will help me a lot to get started. THANKS Seconded, a similar thing and even an in depth video for lathe users wou...

lathe spindle question

When switching from auto spindle control to manual, the software sets spindle speed to zero (or very low) Is there a parameter to make it stay at 100% ? Small problem I know but would save pressing the button every time I switch.
