(Created page with "== Methods for setting the Z offset == === Rough setting === This method is suitable for first operations only, where length accuracy is not a primary consideration. * Switch to a turning tool, such as T2. * Bring the tool close to the front face of the material, about a millimeter away from the face * The tool should be a few millimeters outside the OD of the stock to prevent colliding with the stationary material. * Slowly bring the tool towards the face of the stoc...") |

This method is suitable for second operations, or when you need to take a bit more care about material usage. When using this method note that you are always moving ''away'' from the stock and not trying to pinch the gauge material between the tool and stock. | This method is suitable for second operations, or when you need to take a bit more care about material usage.

Attempting to pinch the gauge rather than moving away from the material could lead to damaging the insert, the material, the gauge, the machine, or all of the above. | |||

Be aware of where the machine will move, and use a long gauging pin to keep your hands out of the way. }} | {{PictogramExplanation|hazard-crush|Crush Hazard|You will be manually moving the machine while working near a potential pinch zone.

You will need a piece of material with a smooth, very consistent outer diameter. It should be long enough that you can hold it without fear of catching your hands in the machine. We have a piece of 12mm material that was centreless ground to a 12.00mm diameter, this is ideal for this purpose. | You will need a piece of material with a smooth, very consistent outer diameter.
