Re: 2 small problems with the lathe please help

For your end mill issue just make it the same tool number with a different offset. One offset for edge work and the other for plunge cutting.

Re: 432 Ethernet Communication error number 2

Looks like the defender firewall is turned on for some reason. I have a domain, public and private firewalls that I can turn on or off. Do I need to turn them all off? Or just the public and private?

Re: 432 Ethernet Communication error number 2

Re: 432 Ethernet Communication error number 2

Is there a way to see these errors in real time so I know if I fixed the issue or not? Instead of changing something and waiting to see if it fixed it?

Re: Struggling with lathe tool auto touch off

I wouldn't waste time using auto touch off. When I touch off a probe in my lathe it never cuts on size. Probe touch off is only really useful for super rigid machines with no flex. If you have a small lathe don't waste your time, the most accurate way is to make a skim cut as it add in all the flex ...
