Setting a start point.

[JAZZCNC]

Work offsets(WO) are very usefull if you have large bed. You can basicly devide the bed up into individual sections that can quickly and easily be located using WO.
If used in combination with fixture jigs and location dowels it makes for very easy multipart cutting using different materials of different thickness's which can be left unattended. Just combine the code in one long G-code file by copy and paste and when the control comes across the new WO G-code it will move to that point and start a fresh adjusting for the offsets.!

Great for doing things like 2 sided cutting on multiple parts using fixture jigs. Cut the first side in G54 and while this is cutting set another to be cut in G55. While G55 is cutting remove G54 jig from machine reset part for other side and replace back in G54 position for the other side. The code will be set in such a way that after the first twin same cut it flips back and forth between front and back sides. . . . . Obviously this is job dependent but you get the idea.!!
