After a bit of time off, we're getting back into the swing of things on the blog. Today's video topic is in response to several recent questions we've fielded recently about a very useful gauge: the Haimer 3D Sensor. For those unfamiliar, Haimer 3D sensors can be used to quickly and accurately find milling work offsets in X, Y and Z. When properly setup, these will exceed the accuracy of most other edge finding techniques available to the small shop machinist. Here are two things to keep in mind:
Here's a Fab Lab Skill Builder episode to help you get started with using any one of the Haimer 3D sensors that we carry. In it, Mike C. demonstrates how to calibrate the sensor, and also how to find several common work offsets: edge, center of a square, and hole center.
