I need help with mastercam lathe

[heavychevy2155]

I recently started a new job programming and setting up an Okuma LB3000EXII MYW. It has an OSP300L controller, and we bought the Inhouse Okuma post. I have programmed 2 axis lathes for years, but understanding the steps involved for c and y axis programming is on a whole other level. I need to know what planes do I use for c axis and y axis milling and drilling. Any help getting me going would be great. I subscribed to eapprentice and all I see is 1 lathe course and it doesn't go all that deep into the more advanced lathe setting. Thanks for any help I can get.

For G141 face milling - Left tplane

For C0 od milling back tplane

ok so for face milling and drilling I use the right view. I always use the back view for Y axis and side profile. use the C view utility for setting up new planes/views. I hope this helps.

I'll give it another go today, thanks.

Yes, we were told to use the c view utility. We have a Mori NL2500Y and this seems to work for us.
