I recently started work at a new shop with a Haas SL40 lathe. For the last 15 years I've ran Fanuc controlled lathes. With Fanuc I can call up a tools in MDI and it will display the tool offset position. This is a critical feature I use during my setups, especially jaw setup..

I'm completely mind boggled why this is not a standard feature on these machines! Someone please tell me there's a parameter for this!

We had a Fanuc lathe that was like this at another shop I worked at and I was able to change some parameters for the display. One of the guru's on here helped with that one

I appreciate the help!
