Great video, looking forward to seeing the rest of this series. I have a question re your WCS positions. If the first vice is located in G57, why did you select G54 and #1 for the first part? I’d have thought you would have used G57 and # 4 in that setup? Because your vice and part are modelled, the mill knows where the part is off G57…. I’m just not understanding using 2 different WCS’s for the same work position. I use G54 (1) for my vice in my X7 and G59 (6) for my 4th axis.
@MrRctintin The first probing routine drives the probe to the raw stock using G57 and saves the probed location in G54. I believe the next video shows it. If I chose G57 instead, the probing routine would overwrite G57. I never want G57 to change so that I can probe the next part. Think of it as G54 becomes G57 plus any deltas for part misalignment after probing. I'm also using a self centering vise. If you use a fixed jaw vise where the part isn't always in the center, then your setup would be different.

@@MrSmith1231 ok, I think I understand, I look forward to the next videos.
