I would like to know how to reliably jog to find the edge of my part with an edge finder WITHOUT backlash ( due to ongoing bug investigation ) but then engage backlash compansation WHILE MACHINING?
Can I simply:
1- Jog to the edge of the part, find the edge
2- Zero the DRO
3- Change screens and enable backlash compensation
When I enable compensation will the software know what was the previous direction of motion, and be able to determine whether or not to compensate on the next move after I enable compensation?
If I can't accurately find my edge and have backlash compensation while machining then the software is not useful to me.
