TouchDRO Tool Offset Library

[ycroosh]

Good day,
I finally finished the user manual articles for the Lathe Tool Offset Library. A few forum members were asking for more info on that feature, so here are the links to the relevant sections (for those interested):

Lathe Tool Offset Memory Basics
Managing Tool Offsets on a Lathe
Programming Lathe Tool Offsets

If you've used this feature in TouchDRO V3, I'm very curious to hear your feedback. Also, please let me know if the explanation in the manual matches how you ended up using the feature.

Thank you
Yuriy

Nice work, those articles are really clear & well written. I set up my lathe tool offsets X & Z at the same time for each tool but your recommendation of going through & doing all the X then all the Z makes good sense.

Cheers
Clint

Thank you for the feedback, Clint.

I installed the beta version .10 , lathe screen in portrait mode with workspace is nice.
When I go to add a tool I click on the add tool and box clears off screen, no line to name tool or save info.
When I click on the tool offset on the main screen it will let me enter values for the stippled out custom tool. But I can't add any tools to save values for them. I am running older version of android.

I fixed this on Wednesday. Once you get Build 2022-10-26, the dialog will appear.
For some reason Google Play is very slow with rolling out this build. I know that a few people already have it, but (on my test table) I still see only 2022-10-23.
