I would be interested in seeing it work. I am in initial stages of setting up a cnc lathe and will need to know more about tool setting. I've used a coaxial indicator on a mill where I have X and Y However on a lathe i'm guessing that shimming may be required for tweaking vertical adjustmentPhilipTrueman wrote: ↑Fri Jan 26, 2024 3:45 pmIt is called a coaxial indicator in English.suntravel wrote: ↑Fri Jan 26, 2024 3:39 pm I am using this for drills:

If you have a lantern style tool post, you adjust tool height with packing. Most quick change tool posts (QCTP) have height adjustments.

Confidence is the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.
I have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are where they should be.

I just tried to use the coaxial indicator but there isn't enough Z travel to fit one in between the chuck and the turret.suntravel wrote: ↑Fri Jan 26, 2024 3:39 pm I am using this for drills:

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