Hello and thank you for this update. I did figure this out. When I'm back at work I will post the code. Unfortunately MasterCam X9 is posting the NC code incorrect along with the spindle direction being M134 as cw? It will be obvious when I post it.
I did create a point. Then used it for user defined. Is that that the same as Ref. point?
I did notice that when I posted it out it did not use that user defined point. The posted code did a diagonal move from home to the part face.
G00 G54X5.1355 Z 085
Well I figured it out. All I had to do is edit the Home Position to X7.0 Z1.0 and the turret will move to that point first. Then down in X to the start .100" lead in amount.
Cheers
Hello all,
I just got this machine with mastercam X9 recently. I'm running into a programming problem. I know I want the turret to move Z first for tailstock clearance. I'm using the GENERIC HAAS ST 4X MT_LATHE control that came with the tailstock defined within it..
any suggestions?
