Lathe boring and internal grooving question

[Diesel Tom]

Hi I'm new to cnc lathe I'm having problems with boring and grooving. Ill make my path and after the finish path the tool rapids through my part at an angle on its way to home for the next tool change how do i make it come out of the part without the angle?

 

Thanks for your time.

Simple,

 

Define stock.

+1 to JParis. Reference points also work. They're on the first page of your toolpath parameters...where you set your feeds and speeds. Just define a Z position for your approach and exit and you'll be golden.

Reference Points are the only way to go; don't rely solely on stock definition for this. Many before you have paid a loud price for this decision

+1 to all of the above

I always define my stock and set ref. points for all id tooling.

Mine was pulling a 6" diameter piece of aluminum Holobar out of the chuck at 4000 RPM. I nearly had to change my shorts.

Chain your bore (still in chain mode) *chain, *point, pick a point somewhere in the front of the bore and the tool executes the point before its next command.

 

Jest saying....
