When using the lathe canned cycle I noticed that when entering a number in "stock to leave in Z" the last pass also uses this number as a clearance. IS THIS A BUG ????
I did a search for coolant problems (not going on) and found a link from JP. My question is:
Is the coolant issue for mill, lathe or both?
Just would like to know so I can fix them while we are slow, better now than when real busy.
Thanks
Is there a way to show the stock that will be removed in backplot when the red arrow is at the end of the last operation. (without using the verify button)?
Thanks in advance
I have the "q" after the pheader, but question variables earlier.
Hope that helps.....
