Howdy all, I just got my my pcnc 770 s3 recently and I acquired a Rapidturn for it by luck.
I’m looking for any advise if anyone has tried using the mills ets or probe somehow into the programming.
I couldn’t find a RapidTurn Deluxe tool package fusion tool library. If you are willing to share i would be grateful
just noticed its also used for the 8L. I’m going to be digging into if any one has files for it in the lath bit
To my knowledge, the probe and ets input(s) are not active in lathe mode, though to be honest, I’ve never tried it. This would be a handy feature since most of the reason I rarely use my rapidturn is that it takes so damn long to get it set up, mostly due to figuring out tool offsets.
My approach will be to use a manual tool setter for this but I haven’t had an excuse to set up my rapidturn since I got the thing. The intent is to set it on the table, the face of the rapid turn, and a yet-to-be determined reference face for the Y axis. Once I get one tool located, against those features, I can check any additional tools against the same features and note the difference in the DRO to use as my offsets for those tools. Still a manual process and it would likely have to be done every time I remove the tool post mount to account for any slight changes in rotational position when it is reinstalled, but better than touching off each tool on the part itself imo.
