Mill Turn Chucks?

Recommended Posts

Ok, during job setup of mill turn I have to choose how far my part is from my chuck. 1st question is, is there a library that has the royal collet chucking systems that I can use? Next quetion is where is my Z 0 supposed to be on my machine? I tell mastercam its so far in front of the chuck but it always designates the front of my part as Z 0. I want mine set up to where z0 is a constant on the chuck itself so when I program stuff I just move my part so far in front of Z so I know its always in front of my collet.

No Library of anything that I am aware in Mill/Turn it has been requested.

On the Job Setup page you will pick your Z0 Position at the face of the Chuck. Might need to make a template file that you important your models into without anything started. Problem is how wonky Mill/Turn will get importing something into it that is not part of the original job setup.
