Presets
The functionality has been explained previously in this manual (See
"Presets" on page 12). The explanation, and examples on those pages
are based on a mill application. The basics of those explanations are
the same for turning applications with two exceptions; Tool Diameter
Offsets (R+/-), and Radius vs. Diameter inputs.
Tool diameter offsets have no applications with turning tools, so this
functionality is not available while doing turning presets.
Input values can be either radius, or diameter values. It is important to
be sure the units being entered for the preset agree with the state that
the display is currently using. A diameter value is shown with a (Ø)
symbol. The state of the display can be changed using the RAD/DIA
soft key (available in both operating modes).
RADIUS/DIAMETER Soft Key
Drawings for lathe parts usually give diameter values. VUE can display
either the radius, or the diameter. When the diameter is being
displayed, the diameter symbol (Ø) is shown next to the position
value.
Example:
Radius display, position 1, X = .50
Diameter display, position 1, X = Ø 1.0
U
Press the RAD/DIA soft key to switch between radius display, and
diameter display.
