Hey again SBotters,
I have successfully run 2x 4.5" bores through 1" aluminum plate with a nice interference fit for receivers that I am setting a jig into. So far so good!
I am now looking to pick up the edges of 8 aluminum parts on my jig and I will need to do them all separately with accuracy. I would like to use an edge finder to accomplish this feat for now (I will be looking into writing a routine similar to Z-zero w/ a circuit and Dowel Pin).
I've read posts about laser finders and the like, but really need to accomplish this with an 'old school' edgefinder for now.
I need help with the controls on the ShopBot to get it to move small distances efficiently. For those who have run CNC's, this would typically be done with an incremental dial.
Could someone who has experience with edgefinding on a ShopBot give me a hand?
Thanks in advance,
Brandan
