Setting up a new to me Hit 8s. Machine wasnt used for a while but everything seems to be in good working order. Trying to set one turning tool to start with using the toolsetter. Following instructions in the manual and it seems to work (does enter data in the offsets) but the distance in X is off by 1.514" for the turning tool. Z offset is also way off but dont remember by how much. I tried to calibrate the probe as described in the manual by adding 1/2" of that to 1022 parameter but it doesnt change anything so I set it back to what it was originally. I do have the machine set to EDIT COMM, and pretty sure Im doing it correctly.
I also tried setting the tools using the tool offset calculator but that just generated different numbers.
Anyone know the trick to getting the offset correctly set?
