Code: Select all

IS SV_M94_M95_15;(Tool Unclamp)

Have you seen Keith's YouTube Mill training video. The one for a Bed Mill would apply:


The knee mill training video is good to watch too. But you don't need a reference tool. He does go over using the automatic TT1 tool setter which applies (Watch starting 13;40 for info on TT! setup):

OK, Off-Topic. How were you able to make my video show up? Keith said just post the link. But it doesn't seem to work until an administrator touches a post.
