I am getting odd results after posting a 1.25-12 UNJF thread with modified major diameter 1.262/1.252.
Is this something new with modified major diameters.
Does the X have to be modified? (or leave it for comp.)
How does it effect the "H"?

Is there a way to automatically use sequential tool numbers instead of crazy numbers like T4949?
I would like to see tool 1 (T0101) then tool 2 (T0202) etc.
Any ideas?
I see that you could "edit selected operations" and "renumber" there.
Is there a way to do it automatically?
Mornin'
I looked into a bit this morning and I see your concern. I usually only use the "computer"
as the compensation type. I did try all options and agree that it does violate the part. I'm not sure if its a bug or not.
Hopefully someone can help resolve this.
Good luck
babolino,
In your groove finish parameters page, change the compensation type to " computer "
When in control it is compensating the tool width ot your tool.
PS..... heck of a groove
Sorry Randy,
We have only Okumas here and one Mazak.
The Okumas use G73 (longitudinal grooving) and G74 (transverse grooving) (the G75 in Okumas are auto chamfering).
Good luck (back to the top)
I did it in the tool. When asked to apply to all operations using this tool I answered yes.
......
I am always afraid to use "edit common perameters". I got burned one time in V9.
Unless they fixed it in X. When I went in to change coolant to on in V9 it also changed other things. Did that get fixed in X ??
Thanks
I have never done this but I believe if you add another machine group it should work. I have done this with lathe and it worked fine, as of yet I still have not done it with milling.
