Title: Set offsets on a machine.
Course: Precision Machining Technology III (13203-III) > Section: Perform Setup Operations on CNC Machines

Setting should include

- using various methods to set tool length and geometry offsets
- using various methods to set work offsets
- understanding and using setup sheets
- safely entering the offsets into the machine control
- editing the offsets page through the registry
  - tool wear offsets
  - diameter offsets.

Teacher Resources:

- Autodesk
- FS Wizard
- NC Viewer (CNC simulation)
- Phillips Machinist, Phillips Corporation
- Vericut

Process/Skill Questions:

- Should the tools be set to the workpiece for every job or to a single location?
- How can a machinist track tool offsets when the tool is removed from the machine?
