Re: Re.Referencing Tool Turret

Hi Dan,

Here is th link of the ATC I made

http://www.cnczone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10468

it works well. but I little problem in it. as I had congigured it in
mach3 1.11111 steps per digree. so after few tool changes it shows
some erratic values in tool position DRO. I mean instead of showing
0.000 for tool 1 it shows 0.0099999 and this keeps on changing.

I am going to add a 1:3.6 reduction thus simplifying the steps per
digree. This will come to now 4 steps per digree.

if you need I can post pics of my ATC.

Regards....Manjeet
