Re: lathe part/groove tool offset

My problem is when I set the tool offset like in the left side of the image on my original post I get a double unwanted shoulder on my part. If I set my tool offset up like in the right side of the image on my original post, my part does not have the shoulder that should be there. Also this is not a...

lathe part/groove tool offset (RESOLVED)

EDIT** I have resolved this problem. Are the tool offsets for a parting and grooving tool different? Do I need to setup my parting and grooving tool as 2 separate tools in the offset table?

backlash compensation only way to fix this? (Resolved)

Re: Grizzly G0776 13x40 lathe

I haven't done anything to screw comp tables on this machine. I wasn't able to get the db25 connections to move the motors at all. But I did notice some lose connections on one of my stepper drives. It was "arcing". I tightened the loose connection and all seems to function properly again....
