Hi Vince Just out of curiosity how does your DMG machine work? The one place I worked at we had a mill-lathe with multi Axes milling – and we never could get it to work properly So it ended up being sent back. The head keep moving When we were milling and they couldn’t seem to get it fixed. But we were Machining hard steel .

Set all your tools there actual length using a height gauge ( you have to make a holder for the tool to sit in ) . Then set the spindle as Z zero using a known tool legth or a blank tool with a touch probe on it .Using this method you are able to set tool lengths while machine is running .
