Quick tip. i have found you do the laser map first with the lash comp off, after check your backlash and then change that comp to match. the ball screw will still have backlash even after laser mapping, easiest way to think about it is your mapping the screw in one direction the the other for the wh...

Im not sure why it would change the moves with comp on with no data entered. It looks good through, getting it dialed in nicely bud.

The omp400 you need the probe, and optical eye omi-2h im using to control the probe and supply the ou...

It should be able to be a adjusted or you need to put it in the same position in the spindle each time, my lp2 is just a shaft, my omp400 is adjustable. 20180318_192309.jpg Its designed from renishaw prints for a cat 40 holder i designed it to run in a er20 collet and be fully adjustable. Its a on g...
