What you’ll need
A penny
•
White backing paper: The blank side of a
•
business card works great.
Setup.
1.
Place the penny and card on top of a flat surface, as
shown. Make a mark on the card to indicate the lower
left hand corner of an imaginary box that the penny will
fit inside.
Align the Scope and Focus.
2.
Open the Tormach CNC Scope application. Use the
mill to position the camera over the penny. Most
likely, you will need to carefully rotate the scope
with respect to the spindle so that X Y mill motion
is aligned on the Camera display. Focus on the
surface of the penny. For coarse focus, adjust with
the focusing wheel of the scope, if available. For fine focus, the preferred technique is to move the Z axis in
0.001” increments. Do not readjust Z once the focus is set. Close CNC Scope.
