    Re: Setting Z offsets on Delta 20

    Once your are done? Ref zero (R + Z jog switch) on Z axis as you would on startup, no need to redo the other axes this time.

    Got it all working, thanks to your instructions - thanks again!

    Then I quickly burned up a 1/2" drill running too fast in 4140. Oh well - at least that's a problem I'm more familiar with how to fix

    Next question, though - is entering the fixture offsets really a matter of writing them down from the jog screen, then entering them manually on the fixture offset screen? That seems quite an error prone way of doing...

    Hi Lee...after Jogging to fixture location..go into Mode Select >(6)Tool Tables>then pick the Offset number you want....then there should be a Fixture Calibrate soft key at bottom of screen......or maybe D20's did not have that option? If, it does Hit x or y or z then softkey it to enter current position. Works the same for Tool comp hopefullly

    Hi DJ,

    I didn't see a fixture calibrate soft key - maybe you're right that the D20 doesn't have it. Dang, that's a pain...

    Can anyone else with a Delta 20 confirm?

    Thanks
