  1. It is a post problem. I was just making sure I wasn't doing anything wrong in the control definition or my programming before went any further and if anyone had any ideas about fixing this. Thanks everyone for the help, maybe by end of week this will be fixed.
  2. Surface High Speed (Area Roughing). I can post a file if I can. Thanks
  3. Okay i used the 3 tool offset on the program and it still cut my back side of part. Yes it is throwing out M15 and M16 in to code, but i think it like might need more to keep from cutting back side or it needs to retract in z to allow re-clock. I have not tried to use a big lead in-out yet i will try this next. Colin do you know where i can find this retract along z axis?
  4. i have done a old surface rough pocket tool path and i have also done a surface high speed (area rough) tool path used full retract 50mm above my Z zero. both tool paths showed same results. i believe it is a post problem . today i'm about to try 3 tool offsets (ex. T020202) to see if it may change. my post right now just puts out 2 offsets. i've read before some people using 3 but idk. i will also change my C rotary and see where it gets me. i will do all of this one setting at a time. thanks,
  5. No the post has not been tested on milling. Seems to do simple face contour and face drill but this is now a 1st doing 3D milling. I have tried 2 different roughing tool paths and both do the same(surface rough,area rough). I have told the dealer and give them every file i know program, code and even these pictures. I have not go anything from them. I think there needs to be a Z axis re-track to clearance move before the lathe does a re-clock. Maybe? What file do you need and i can try to send it? Thanks
  6. I'm using 2018 and using a surface rough. My Back Plot and Verify shows what I want it to. When I run in the lathe (OKUMA LB4000) it does moves that the Back Plot and Verify doesn't. The lathe mills off some of the part that it is not suppose to touch. I have attached 3 pics to maybe explain more. The last picture is what the lathe did. Thanks
  7. HELP, I'M HAVING TROUBLE MILING 3D SHAPES IN MY LATHE. I'M WONDERING WHAT I CAN CHANGE IN MY LINEAR SETTINGS IN THE MILL. IF IT WILL FIX MY PROBLEM OR IT COULD BE A POST PROBLEM. I'VE ATTACHED A SCREEN SHOT OF WHAT CONTROL TOPICS I'M TALIKING ABOUT. THANKS
