One thing that still screws my head up is when i am turning a square to a round. When i do this, It always cuts too deep on my first pass because i measure from the (flat) as opposed to the (point) of the square and therefor do too deep on that cut.
If you look at this video:
http://www.legacycncwoodworking.com/demo-videos/
"Basic Turning Demonstration"
3:25 to 3:55
you will see that the bit comes down to cut as the indexer is turning at a slower speed and after the bit starts cutting with the flutes of the bit and the carriage moves the speed of the indexer turning speeds up.
It would seem to me that this would be a good way to do this or some kind of drill "pecking" stepdown strategy for the first part of a turning file.
Can this be done currently?
