Offset in CNC Turning: A Closer Loo
In this article, we will discuss the concept of offset, and how to measure it. You will also learn about some of the different types of offsets, including vertical and horizontal offsets
An offset can be defined as any difference between the centerline of a part and its axis of rotation. Offsets produce a rotation while cutting or turning parts using a machine tool or lathe. An offset can be caused by several factors, including tool changes, different spindle speeds and tool changes (or even changes in the tool head).
