M00 Before Operation

[EazyE]

When I add a M00 before a operation using the canned text dialog the first M00 posts just fine at the top before the tool change - But there is also a M00 in the middle of the operation ??? It seems that the common place is after the G40 line - When I have a rough cut then a finish it stops after the rough and (with a Haas ) there is no way to start again without a tool length and offset.

Hi EazyE,

 

Can you use a M01 instead?

Coming at ya -

You'll have to do a force tool change. This would repost your tool length offset spindle speed ect. Also I think there’s a parameter in the haas machine which would allow you to start anywhere in the program...... Can’t remember which one though.........

[EazyE]

Newchsmcam - Parameter 36 program restart - the trouble with this parameter is that it brings the tool to the last location before the M00 then it continues to the next spot - I had to move my clamps to the last place milled to have clearance for the next toolpath - (CRASH)- Thanks anyway.

What about force tool change.....hmm I'll play around with my mill tonight....

What Post are you using? Mpmaster contols this with mi10 with the following procedure.

 

1. The tool retracts to a safe location

2. Program stops at M0

3. Tool length offset applied and spindle restarted

 

If you use mi10 along with a manual entry set to post out as code you have a lot of options for moving around clamps.
