Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] indexing layout for larger capacity

Dale,

On my cnc router I can index by creating two index points or two known
points. Cut the first part and then move the material. I then move my
cutter to one of the known index points and do a g92 for the known x and y
values. I then do a move to another known index point to check if the
material has moved off the vertical.
