Awesome! We have loved ours. An easier way is use a joe block between the tool and tool setter, and then subtract the joe block length. Maybe not as accurate, but close.
I noticed your annoyance with the wear offsets. I myself, am just getting familiar with these newer machines. On my older machines (10/11T) the wear offset is automatically cleared whenever you use the measure function to fill the tool geometry offset. I would speculate this factors the wear into the geometry setting but curious to hear your experience.
Hello sir, can you tell me what the benefit of this 24 half-index turret is when you already have a Y-axis. I understand that you need that Y-axis on live-tools for twin-holders but this works on parallel double static holders as well. Y+/Y- motion. Is it for some extra clearance on the haf-index (15°) ??
The "half index" turret positions aren't that useful considering we have Y axis; I believe they carry over the feature from the XZ lathes. We have an NLX with the 12 position turret and we just use the Y axis for the static and live tools. One advantage would be with larger workpieces; Compound Y machines inherently limit y travel the closer you are to home position.
I just ran mine for the first time today. You are a badass machinist.
I just got a 2100 LSYA and this is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

Okay, thanks for the reply.
