The DP900 can store multiple tool offsets. These are the absolute tool
positions with respect to a datum (axis zero position).
Before you set up your tools you need to define the centerline of the X-
axis. This is best done using a small piece of bar stock and turning it with
a tool. Without moving the axis, measure the diameter of the turned part
and enter this as your X-axis value. The axis now reads zero when the tip
of the tool is at the centerline of the axis.
You also need to set the Z-axis datum. This could be the end of the part
used to set the X-axis datum. Set the Z-axis value to zero (0.000).
You should perform the above datuming procedure with the compound
3rd-axis at 0
