Hi!

Changes the value of dia_mult(at post) from 2 to 1. The post will output radius value.

Mikhael:

I'm also using an Okuma Lathe with Mastercam and find it to be exceptionally easy to use for programming. I'm not even sure I could program with the Okuma IGF anymore.

But, I was wondering if you are using the canned cycles when outputting your code? I am, and find it really makes for easy editing on the machine, and it is easier for me to troubleshoot when I screw something up in my programming. We do a lot of one-off work and the operators like to be able to change some of the values in the canned cycles for better cycles.

hey

I also have Okuma lathe and milling and I really think it's faster and better with IGF than any other system...
