Re: Re Handwheels

Mark,

Exactly! You had to CHANGE your re-zeroing methods...

It takes a CHANGE of attitude to FULLY realise the promise of CNC.

But once you do, you'll only turn mechanical handwheels for
nostalgia, or the VERY real "just feels good" that they DO provide...

But not when you're in a hurry. Or want it to be easy. Or when you
need accurate results. Then you'll use the cnc "manually"...
