Can secondary machining operations on an existing part be done?
Yes. There are many ways in which this can be done. Here are some of the more popular methods: The optional OMAX Precision Optical Locator (POL) makes secondary machining on existing parts easy (for more information, see the POL Spec Sheet). You can also do secondary operations on existing parts by cutting a “square” from a plate of steel, then sliding the parts into the corner of the square, which provides a known reference point. The OMAX Controller also allows up to 100 user-specified home locations, which provides multiple tooling locations on a single machine.
