I need a plate for a tool setter for my CNC mill. What it is for is the plate that the tool would press on to get the offset reading.
Tool is placed in the chuck jog over to the setter and push down to get a reading, then next tool.
It needs to be a 2 inch round disk 1/4 inch thick.
Needs to be hardened to resist tool marks
Needs to have both sides ground flat and parallel to each other.
Needs to be magnetic.
I don’t have a surface grinder and that would be needed.
Could someone help with this?
I need to know where to buy stock, what size (1/2 thick to have room to grind?), what type of metal, should it be hardened prior to grinding.
I am making a modification to a Starrett tool setter.
