Mazak QT250my C-axis feedrate help!


Recommended Posts

I have been tasked with working with ICAM people to set up the post for our new QT250my lathe.  This is new territory for me and I am wondering which way is best to proceed when using a C-axis and linear feed motion at the same time.  The first version I received of this post did not take into account the fact that the C-axis feeds in degrees per min, which makes my 75 ipm feedrate incredibly slow.  This only occurs when I am working on the OD of the part.  I have G12.1 engaged when I am working from the face and it works fine.  Is inverse feedrate my best option here, or is there a better way to go?

Haha!  Thanks for the encouragement.  It is my first time being the front man to get a post working.  A painful process for sure!  I had discovered G07.1 in my manual the other day and was wondering if that was a better alternative to inverse feed.  I was initially leaning toward inverse feed because I'm more familiar with it.
