First got the idea from S_J_H's post and also from Micro Rotors here. Thanks guys! I used my old Veo Connect USB WebcamVeo Connect USB Webcam and my custom housing to be able to align the spindle with a mark on the part, hole, cross hair, centerpunch, etc. Will make setting the spindle on the part origin a piece of cake. I just load the OTS in the spindle, open either Centrecam or the video window in Mach 3, Jog the mill to align the cam cross hairs on the part origin, zero the DRO's and I'm ready to go. Could even use this as an optical comparator to measure a finished part using the Mach 3 DRO's. See the video on my site or Youtube. Thanks, Hoss Hoss attached the following image(s): Gosh, you've... really got some nice toys here.-Roy Batty
