Most folks use the operator jog to edge find the part right? So once you have set the operator jog coordinates, you have to jog them back to X0,Y0 then go into offsets and press "part zero set" for X...

But i guess thats a fair comment.. Mabe "Issue" is too strong a word. Perhaps "niggle" is better...

G'day Guys

I recently got a hold of an Alan Bradley 1305 1.5 Kw (2Hp)VFD. This unit has three phase input or Single Phase input, and 3 phase output 0.1-400Hz.

G'day Guys

Thanks for the posts Macona. I think a lube system is a pretty good idea also. On my machine i have those little brass ball bearing oil valves. I think these should easily push out...
