That solved one of my problems. I'm now trying to make the face drilling work. This is an example of what I need: N1610 (DRILL) N1620 G0 G40 G30 U0. W0. N1630 M59 N1640 T0808 (.437" KEN-TIP DRILL) N1650 G80 N1660 M43 N1670 G28 H0.

M55 I need the post to generate the M90 command (spindle clamp) for the G81 and each angle position. I also need an M60 for spindle engagement. The spindle start M - code is also different. I'm using the MFLPAN pst and trying to post to a Fanuc 21i control. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Dan

Hi, I'm a newbie at this and the answers is probably staring me in the face - but I'm trying to add some m codes for operating chip conveyors and spindle control for the live tooling on a VTL. I've found "misc functions for lathe" in the control definition but I'm having some problems understandting how it works. Can I modify the post from here or do I have to modify the actual pst file? Any explinations or links to the answers would be great. Thanks in advance, Dan

Hi, We were trying to write a program for an older mori that has the sign of the x axis reversed (negative instead of positive). Is it possible to change this in the machine definition? Thanks, DW
