HAAS ST20SSY X,Z TO STOCK

[TiGuy]

Hello all,

 

I just got this machine with mastercam X9 recently. I'm running into a programming problem. I know I want the turret to move Z first for tailstock clearance. I'm using the GENERIC HAAS ST 4X MT_LATHE control that came with the tailstock defined within it..

 

any suggestions?

I would call my reseller. They fixed that one for me.

Well I figured it out. All I had to do is edit the Home Position to X7.0 Z1.0 and the turret will move to that point first. Then down in X to the start .100" lead in amount.

 

Cheers

You can use Ref. point for each toolpath as well.

I did create a point. Then used it for user defined. Is that that the same as Ref. point?

 

 

I did notice that when I posted it out it did not use that user defined point. The posted code did a diagonal move from home to the part face.

Found that ref. point check box right next to the snake bite kit. So funny when the answer is right in front of me.

 

Thanks for the direction.

 

Cheers
