Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Locating already drilled holes

Hi Annie

Yes been there done that, but put the hole in the fixture that held the
parts - fixture already held parallel in x axis by Tee slot key, and set
machine zero.

A stupid operation where a small number of parts had to be made each
Tuesday, and the machine then cleared.
