I think you only made one program for that machine Ron. I tried to find it but I had no luck. As far as that little dip, I just started using a second offset to cancel that out. works perdy good. I like the machine, just never had the time to figure out programming the second turret.

Thanks, I so wasn't sure about the -X values. Just the text would be helpful. My Mastercam program I believe is correct. (looks right in backplot) LOL. Thanks again.

We have had an LU 15 in here for years and we only use the top turret. The boss man wants me to start using the lower turret on it. I have a post that works, but it doesn't put the "P" codes in the right places and on the lower turret, all of the X values are X minus. I don't know if they are supposed to be negative or not. So my question is: Does anybody have a sample program for me to look at? Thanks guys.

Yea, I had to go rescue my wife. She locked herself out of the house. Great show though.

That sucks guys. See ya next time.

Many thanks to you guys for the help on Friday. I ended up using what CJep sent. and looks like it will work pretty darn well. The only thing I don't like about it, is the fact that I cant take the credit for it. Thanks again.

We are going to use a 1/2 dia adapter to give some support.

But I could rotate the part and repeat it. It might work.

That's a lot closer, but its not getting the radius in the front.

Aw screw it, i'll post it.

I'm not a mill turn guy at all what so ever. I'm not a mill guy for that fact. I have what should be an easy 1 tool program that I can not figure out. would anybody like to take a look and pull me out of the fire. If you are interested PM me with an email address and I will send it to you . Thanks in advance, Ray.

I'm looking forward to it.

Your it guy is wrong. Lol

Your bringing the beers foggy.

Mine started as black, I changed it to DODGER BLUE!

The only thing I can think of is he isn't defining his stock. His thread is starting inside the bore at Z-.8739, if its not defined properly it would exit thru the material.

I just posted that thread real quick with my proven post and this is what it looks like. (*****) N1 ( TOOL - 102 OFFSET - 102 ) ( ID THREAD - MIN. .25 DIA. INSERT - NONE ) (*****) G0 X10. Z10.
