Still trying to get a working post for my TL-2 Hass lathe. Have contacted my reseller about issues I am having and they keep telling me they are working on it. I still can not thread using canned cycle (unless I edit the NC file) but it will do it in boxed. I am unable to select Home possition, the post always sends turret to machine home to change tools and that does not work well when you need the tailstock. I have been able to edit the NC file to insert my selected home position but it is a pain when you have to do that every time. Thanks for all the responces.

Got a new TL-2 with turret a few weeks ago. Setup machine definition and used post mplmaster as suggested, when i tried to program a part with threading the post output U0. W0. If I use boxed threading cycle I can thread.I understand that u w are used for x & z. contacted my software provider and they said they are checking with corp. 2nd problem is I'm trying to use the tailstock so I must specify tool home for tool change so turret and tailstock don't meet. Location given for home when useing user selected is U0. W0. again with no values. I have tried all options sugested or thought of. If I substitute X#.# Z#.# I can get the turret to home on my selected location. Any seggestions would be appreciated.

still playing. got it to simulate cutting a part. but it's a little ruff. I need to do some move studying. Mastercam dosn't cover lathes as well as mills. I'm a mill guy. Thanks everyone that has tried to help.

We are looking at purchaseing a Haas TL-2 lathe in the next week or so and I would like to set up mastercam to program the lathe, but i don't see a machine definition that looks like it would work without alot of modification. The lathe is TL-2 10" chuck, automatic tool changer, tailstock, steady rest. I am useing X3, mill3, lathe1. Any help would be great. Just want to start playing with programing the lathe before it gets here. Couldn't find any info with a search. sorry if this has been covered before.

It worked. Thanks much.
