  1. Something else to try is copy and rename your post like (no arcs mori seiki) and have your dealer turn the arcs off in that new post. Use it for 3 axis stuff. I have 3 moris with that control and have the same issue with small arcs.

    One MSX 501 control has a nice lookahead feature if I remember to turn it on. When cutting circle mill paths its nice to have arcs though (arc post).

  2. Just a word of experience (BAD) here. I like to rotate my geometry or flip not mirror. Once I moved to mill-turns and drilling od holes and face holes mirroring got me in a lot trouble. OD holes in the solid models mirror also and parts needing a hole at 15 deg will end up at -15 deg . The utility is plus 1000 for this reason also .

  3. I noticed the post added a G28 home move and repeated the work coor along with a B axis move(doesnt happen with rotation box left alone)for the turn move after facing.If I left the B rotation out (accidently because Im human)the B axis defaults to 90 deg.(not good)I tried to edit tool permanently but .

  4. [At least I think that is what you are after.]

     

     

     

    You read my mind.I want an M04 so I used a Left-164 tool and rotated it B180, comp right ( code and backplot) looked good.I guess it was straigt forward.Curious how to make this less redundant.Do I modify and save the default setting for face and turn ops or modify the post (rather not)?How did u get the T01.01?That would be nice.

  5. I have a new Mazak e500h and im trying to create a 45 deg face tool for face and turn operations with no success.Has anyone tried to create tools?My dealer and I thought it was strait forward but the m03 or m04 is posted wrong or the angle is doubled during posting.

  6. Creating a new 45 deg tool using the Sandvik library (dsnn snmg) was easy enough then rotating to -45 deg in tool setup.The post ignored the -45 deg part.Inside the parameter page the (tool angle) option thats available is throwing me off.The post reads any angle in (tool angle)yet if that option is not set every time the B-axis will rotate during a face operation to rough turn operation.What am I missing.Thanks
