Hi all, I just started a new job and after not using mc for about a year I guess I forgot more than I thought. What I want to do is a helix mill in the side of a sphere on a lathe. It has x,y,z,c capabilities. the z position is -.125 and y is .470 I want to feed down in the x. I am not sure if it is a post issue or me. The machine is a Nakamara 300 we are using mcx hopefully I will be able to get them to upgrade but I have to prove I can do this. The hole is .085 dia. I tried putting part on the ftp site but was not allowed which has never been a problem for me in the past.

I used to use ref points all the time but since I started using stock boundries I have not had any problems.

Just curious shouldn’t G28 be a U0. instead of X0. ?
-
that did it thanks for all the help

John this is a post I started butchering a while ago and can't remember which one. It was probably the mpmaster

Kannon, I don't have start at center checked. Gcode, I understand that will work but this is for a tosheba boring mill and I am tring to get the gode to look like what the operators are used to looking at. ex. N100 G0 G90 X-3.821 Y-26.5 S1069 M3 N110 G43 H31 Z.25 N120 Z.1 N130 G1 Z-.04 F1.07 N140 G3 X-3.821 Y-26.5 I-1.179 J0. N150 G1 Z.1 N160 G0 Z.25

this is what I am currently getting N100 G0 G90 X-3.821 Y-26.5 S1069 M3 N110 G43 H31 Z.25 N120 Z.1 N130 G1 Z-.04 F1.07 N140 G3 X-6.179 I-1.179 J0. N150 X-3.821 I1.179 J0. N160 G1 Z.1 N170 G0 Z.25

i have tried changing in both places. and of course i broke the #1 rule of backing up my original info now when it outputs arcs it is just using I's and J's without the x and y
-
yes john I do have "Allow 360 Degrees Arcs" checked. I'm wondering if it's somthing in my arc center type
-
I am sure this is a easy fix but for some reason it has me stumped. when i use circle mill i want my program to do the complete circle in 1 line using x y i j right now it is breaking the arc's. I have tried making changes in the control def but when i post the program I don't see any changes.

I was wondering how difficult it would be to get the post to out put my code like this N100 G0 G90 X-20.75 Y-13.75 S1528 M3 N110 G43 H317 Z.25 N120 Z.1 N130 G1 Z0. F24.45 N140 G3 X-19.25 I.75 J0. K-.04 L88 vs. long hand. the machine does not have much memory and the operators seem to like this better. the k moves the "Z" in .04 per rev and it is loping that line 88 times. thanks for the help.
-
that did the trick. thanks Tim

i got it to work again for me. I had my shortcut looking at my config. but in config start/exit it was looking at default. don't make sence to me why that would affect printing but when i made them the same all is well
