I am not new to machines at all just the small machines like my IH cnc. Now I have seen so many videos and read forums and post .


this is what I have done and still not correct !!


1 .Measure all tools with height gauge and enter them into tool table and set each cutter style on the left then SAVE
2.Home out machine
3.using my master holder ( with indicator ) tool #1 come down to work piece zero and set Z zero
4.check each cutter on my 4 inch tool setter ( )

I have noticed that one of my cutters was off by 1/4" now I have double and triple checked my lengths and still not sure what's going on.


QUESTION
do I need to run a program with a T and a H value for it to correct its self ?
