but dose any one know what to change in the post im useing generic fanuc 2x lathe .pst

If you open your post and search for this switch you can set it to no

 

 

 

That will pull the G97 start before the G96 out.

 

I do find it strange that the control won't recognize the the G96 since it is called after the spindle start though

thanks i got my post open and that fixed it

im working in mastercam x5 and when i change tools in lathe it homes all the way for every tool change i have tried to set the user defined section in parameters but it still homes has anyone had this problem?
