Anyone here who uses the probe basic lathe who can tell me how to set up the tool table from start to finish?
Have googled to find manual or other documentation on PB but haven't found anything, so if anyone can point me in the right direction I'm grateful. Bought a lathe and a Kitamura Zero mill when I retired to kill time
I have a Weiler 120 cnc with Bosch control which stopped working so I switched to Linux.  Although I have experience with both mill and lathe I don't understand how to set up PB lathe's tool table

Maybe this helps (not PB specific but I would not expect the GUI to make much of a difference):

Have read lathe user html. Pb has Standard mode and Master tool mode. I have manual tool change and want help with which mode to use and in what order and which touch buttons to use.  With the buttons SET MT X and SET MT Z my master tool (#1) sets the coordinates X and Z in the tool table to X0 and Z0, which is ok. How do I then get the length difference between tool #1 and tool 2 and tool n
