<s>with these I would jog in to the edge of the stock, find
my stock zero, and then zero the axis by means of some button and
with xyz zeroed, away I would go. I home with emc and this sets
MACHINE zero for all the axes, but, my question is; after I have
jogged to my STOCK 0,0,0 how do I set the axes to zero
A second approach to this is to set one of the coordinate systems to the
location of the part. There is a script that you can download from
www.linuxcnc.org/dropbox/Set_Coordinates.tcl.
Download the file and add to the files in the emc/tcl/scripts directory.
The next time you start the emc with tkemc, it will show up under the
scripts menu. Jog to the spot you want for zero, click on Set_Coordinates,
select the system that you want to use 55 - 59.3 and press the Set Pos
button and it will store that location under that coordinate value.
Place a reference to that coordinate set at the correct point in your
program and go. And it will be there tomorrow when you need to make
another one.
