Drill Surface Plate for Tormach TTS Tool Length Measurement @kentvandervelden

Uploaded December 2016 | Updated September 2026, 2 hours ago

Measuring tool length offset for CNC operations requires a convenient and accurate method. Here we drill a granite surface plate to help measure Tormach TTS tool holders with a height gauge. This replaces a small specialized surface plate from Tormach with a larger and more useful surface plate. We also look at how to perform tool length measurement, enter the offsets into LinuxCNC, and make use of tool length compensation in LinuxCNC. As an example, we measure the tool length of a Tormach facemill, and then test the facemill.

The core drill I used was called "20mm (3/4" inch) THK Diamond PRO sintered segment hole saw core drills drill bit" on eBay and sold by "THK Diamond Tools"

$Spectrometer Introduction, Tear-down, and Data Analysis for Plant Phenotyping Spectrometers decompose light into a rainbow of colors and then measure each color accurately. In this video I tear-down a spectrometer, describe the theory, and use of a spectrometer. A recent leaf clip spectrometer is used to for a plant phenotyping application to predict tree lead species.

If you need help with a plant phenotyping project, let me know, I may be able to help your project. The geranium drought experiment is not fully described due to time. Theres additional background information thats needed for understand water absorption spectra. The device used in the video is not ideal for a drought application and so the results are not clear. Let me know if you would more details. The spectrometer that is tore-down is from Ocean Optics. The leaf spectrometer is from CID Bioscience. A Microsoft Surface tablet is used to power the spectrometer and collect data.
