I finally got the hang of setting up a 4th axis on our old Haas last week
Our shop in Toledo got a job for some curved brackets, and my boss told me to figure out the rotary table on the VF-2. I watched a bunch of videos and after three tries, I got the work offset dialed in so the toolpath wrapped around correctly. Anyone have a good method for checking runout on a 4th axis before you start cutting?

Watching videos is a good start, but I always physically indicate the centerline on the part itself before I even touch the work offset.

Oh man, that's the only way to be sure. I'll even hit it with a sharpie line after I indicate, just a quick dash on each side. Makes setting the work offset feel like a formality because you already know exactly where it is.
