You don’t have to as long as you’ve either a) homed your machine at the very beginning OR b) accurately zero your work, every time.
Option a) ( my preferred choice )
- Home your machine - So it’ll know where its XYZ is .
- Set up your work on the machine.
- Zero your work - So it’ll know what the works XYZ is.
- Start milling.
- “Accidentally” bump the machine - Machine will not know where its XYZ is anymore but will still know where the works XYZ would be in relation to ITs.
- Home your machine once more but do NOT reZero - Machine will regain knowledge what its XYZ are and thus where the work is.
- Continue milling.
- This will require for your Homing Game to be repeatably accurate to your needs.
- Can fairly easy be achieved with homing switches and a Z-Touch Plate.
- Comes with added safety through use of soft AND hard limit switches due to use of homing switches.
