BIG DAISHOWA 20 Ways to Save Time in a Machine Shop

Scenario #17:

Are you still measuring tool length manually with gage blocks, paper touch-off or dial touch-off gages? Time-saving solution : While manually measuring tools feels simple, using touch-off gages, gage blocks and paper only measures the Z-axis length of your tooling. Even worse, your machine tool is not in operation while you are using these old methods. Using a presetter will not only measure your Z, but also your tool radius and runout, all while your machine tool is running another job.

Estimated time savings: 5-10 minutes per tool setup
