X Axis Datum:
Lower the tip of the tool so that it falls below the top surface of the
part.
Move the table along the X axis, slowly spinning the tool by hand as
you go. When the tool contacts the part, stop the table.
Using the numerical keypad, enter the radius of the tool (the
distance from the center of the tool to the edge of your part) into the
X: field. Be sure to specify if it’s a negative value.
Press the +/- key.
Enter the radius value.
Press the ENTER key to enter the data and move to the next field.
Y Axis Datum
Lower the tip of the tool so that it falls below the top surface of the
part as done with the X axis.
Move the table along the Y axis, slowly spinning the tool by hand as
you go. When the tool contacts the part, stop the table.
Using the numerical keypad, enter the radius of the tool (the
distance from the center of the tool to the edge of your part) into the
Y: field.
Press the +/- key to change the data to a negative value.
Enter the radius value.
Press the ENTER key to enter the data and move to the next field.
Z Axis Datum
Position the tool so that its tip touches the top surface of the part.
Press the Z = 0 soft key.
Press the ENTER key. With the data entered, the cursor will highlight
the next field.
In this example, the value will be specified as a negative
value, because the tool's center is on the negative side of
our datum (refer to Axis Conventions).
