Height Offset always adds an additional value of 2.000"

Post by BobS »

Hi,

I first rehomed the mill.
Next when setting Z Ref using F10, the value is captured normally, it's shown on the display correctly.
A after using the Manual Measure F2 function the value shown in Height Offset table is always the correct offset value plus 2.000". For example a physically measured 1.000" block shows as 3.000".

How to correct this?

Without a report and more info, it will be hard for anyone to help you.

Look at parameter 3 and read up on what that does for changing tool height offsets. Could be something to do with g43 or g49?

Maybe also look at P43 and P71?
