I recently upgraded my version software so I don't know if that has anything to do with this.
For some reason when i try to set my Z zero for my indexer I use a cut piece of 2x4 for the center of the chuck, I lower my Z manually then do a C2 with the plate under and instead of going down to touch the plate it moves up but never comes back down.
Then I just manually took it down to the jig surface then manually Zeroed the Z.
I made a file in indexer tools "turning a blank to a finished size"
The blank is 2"x2" square I want to turn it to 1.75 round.
in the "rough blank radius" I input 1"
but it starts cutting about an 1" or more above the surface. I wonder if this has anything to do with not being able to C2 to the center of the chuck.
Is there some type of table limit set somewhere that won't let it go down any further?
I have Zzeroed there before with no problem that was why i thought there might be some type of limit set in the newer version that i don't know about.
