Actually, I meant probe input. I have a touch off plate (actually a z height setter that I also use on my mill) that I use to set the lathe tool Z. I zero Z to tool T01, and then set the tool table offsets for the rest of the tools using the touch off (documented in the wiki somewhere). I use a modified tool Z height setter (similar to enco part 636-7044, but mine has a magnetic base). I removed the battery and ran a wire through. The magnetic base allows it to be mounted to the headstock or chuck. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
