Lathe Point

[Dave Loveridge]

I am using V9 lathe and in the middle of a toolpath I describe a lathe point to rapid the turret out of the way so they can flip the stock over. I know the difference between rapid and rapid break and they are both doing the same thing. It moves the x axis to it's position then moves the z. If I use rapid it should move both axis at the same time

 

Thanks for any help

Dave,

Check out the Ref Points box

in the Tool parameters page.

I think you'll find it perfect for what you are trying to do.

I did what you said and it is easier but it is still breaking up the moves

Probably a post thing.

it actually shows it in mastercam when it backplots broken moves
