Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] cnc/copy mill teach

What you are describing is a bit like I been doing it ..I clamp part to table of conventional mill having digital readout and an edgefinder in the quill, then crank over to some important edges and note the DRO coordinates to add those recorded and measured radius to a handwritten G-code program..It is tedius...Sure a real digitizing probe would do for my work and I should have one .....But from what I've read other guys building their own probes , it sounds like it takes hours to digitize a small part.

HI Steven,

Why not just use probe in conventional mill? Controller programs can do the
digitizing. No need to build something special.

However, for the more regular shapes, why not just measure and then draw
them? The simple curves can be determined; the really complex stuff you
could still digitize, or create your own from a few points.
