I like to do the Haimer offset in the machine. I measure the offset of a flat end mill then do a facing operation then use the built in set tool height with the Haimer on zero to get its offset. I feel it gives a better real world zero rather than working against a spring.
Great video! One thing I would mention is do not mix units of measurements with the probes and tasters! I know it may seem obvious, but it's an easy mistake to make.
@@chaddanylak8706 i dont even mind the 5 secs to do the math on a calculator. But /2 lets the machine handle the math instead of fat fingering some number. i let my height gage write the tool height to my tormach. it's too easy to make a mistake and switch around numbers when typing. especially when youre a sloppy typer like me.
Hi, I notice that you drag the styles on the side of the part when switching from X to Y, and also drag ap from Y to Z. I try to separate the stylus from the side of the part before moving to the adjacent side I want to measure. I fear that dragging, or having the stylus "pop" back to center once it reaches the end of the part might affect its calibration. Have you noticed any issues doing it as shown in the video ?
Should have posted the disclaimer “no Haimer tips were harmed while making this video “ :)

Exactly what i'm doing with mine. Working against a spring when measuring hundredth of milimeters does not sound good to me

dived by 2 is a so simple feature I wish haas have it
i wish ALL controllers had that. such a simple feature
@@greg2337 the amount of time you waste by doing the math on a calculator

Wouldn't installing the longer stylus cause enough deviation each time to invalidate the measurement?
