Just found this video by Tormach. It says that the difference between the edge finder running true and kicked offset is .0005. If that makes a difference, you shouldn't be using a mill or an edge finder.
Run the edge finder up until it just kicks sideways, set the dial on the mill to 100. Taught that way in school, confirmed by my first boss. I've never seen it done any other way.
Edit: I do back off after setting the dial and slowly crank up again to double check the setting.
This makes me laugh out loud, keep up the good work as I enjoy such fixed right/wrong conversations.He's wrong. How does he know when the table is no longer touching the edge finder? It will continue to run true after it is no longer touching the part.
repeating the procedure until I can locate an edge to .0001".
He is saying that the difference between the centered edge finder and being kicked out is .0005", not going from offset to centered again.He's wrong. How does he know when the table is no longer touching the edge finder? It will continue to run true after it is no longer touching the part.
he guy training me tells me I am doing it wrong and tells me to get out of the way so he can show me how its done.
