I've said it once and I will say it again: this channel makes the BEST Citizen setup videos on RUclips! Can I make another request? Can you guys make a video explaining how to adjust Core on the gang tools? Not just Core, but also Core DWN. I struggle with both at work and I think I just need to see one of your guys do it to truly comprehend how it is done. You guys rock!
Core is the Y axis equivalent of DIA. To set it, measure your tool from the bottom to the cutting edge. Your machine should either have .500, .625, or .750 nominal tool height. The formula is ((measured)-(nominal)*-2)=core value If your tool measures .503", it would give you a core value of -.006", shifting your tool negative in Y to be on center of the bar. If it measured .494", your core would be +.012", shifting positive. Set the core to this number, don't add it to an existing value. That will get you close enough for most work, assuming your machine hasn't been crashed and needs a grid shift. If you have a tit on the part or bar that you can measure, you can add or subtract that in core until it goes away. Square tits= behind center-positive core adjustment. Pointy/volcano shaped tits=ahead of center-minus core adjustment. I don't see Core DWN on our machines, what machine and control are you running?

Can you guys do a video on how to take apart and reassemble your b-axis ?
I will talk to the team about adding it to the list.

Thanks for the shout out, I will ask the team about your request for the next set of videos!
