Cadmonster66,,, Hey there John, Thanks for response, Not sure if what I did is the solution, but it seems to be working. Henry Finally upgraded yesterday to X2

I got it to work when i turned off cool_zmove : no$ #Coolant off with last move and added this pbld, n$, sccomp, *sm09, *sm05, psub_end_mny, e$ if scoolant = sm08_2, [ pbld, n$, sm339, e$ pbld, n$ "G04", "P10", e$ ] When I use coolant$ = 3 I either get nothing or it gets posted to all tools (depending on where I insert it) regardless of m8 or m50.

cadmonster66, Yes, that is what I need to see. Air when drill is finished and after M9 and ONLY when thru spindle coolant is used.

The problem is with small drill with ID coolant. The pressure is so intense the coolant backs up past the seals in the spindle head and does not disipate, therefore the rust/rot. Also when this happens the 60 Rockwell pins get crushed and the spindle needs to be rebuilt. Th mixture is good and we have tried different coolant to no avail.

Dont understand ????? Set options like this ??????? Like what ???????

I am currently using X, hope to be upgraded to X2 soon. When I use the multiple coolant options it removes the m9 and replaces it with the m339. I guess I am doing something wrong there! I am also wondering if this is a common problem with okumas?

I am trying to add M339 (thru spindle air) to tools that use thru spindle coolant ONLY with no positive results. I get it to post on all tools (not what I want), is there a way to get it to post ONLY to tools that have the M50 (thru spindle coolant) active? The machine is a Okuma MA50. If the air does not blast the coolant out we have spindle rust/rot problems. The spindle has been rebuilt three times and the machine is only five years old. I hope someone can help, right now I imput this code manually, but it can get missed on very large programs, so I would like it automated. Thanks in advance

I have made a new post for version X. I am taking an old (MC9) program that uses the Misc. Reals 1 thru 5 for LAP mode, and trying to post it in X and am NOT getting the LAP cycle output. Is there a way around this WITHOUT having to redo the tool path(s)? Thanks

What is done with machines that use different gear ranges? Use different post?

Does Mastercam Also have Okuma duel turret posts, that output G13 Pxx and G14 Pxx or do I need to manually input these values after posting? Thanks

I have small lathes and it gets the operator confused when he sees the spindle speed defined two ways.

Thanks, much appreciated

How do I get the post NOT to output the G97 line the the G96 line? See below! $T.MIN% O0001 (PART NUMBER - ) (OPERATION NUMBER - ) (PROGRAM NUMBER - T) (DATE - FEB. 14 2007 / TIME - 10:47) N10 G50 S1234 (ROUGH TURN IN LAP MODE) N20 G00 X30. Z80.

I have found it there gentlemen set "profile_before" to NO Thanks again

It outputs the G85 at the end. All previous programs have the G85 before the G81

Hello, I have four Okuma lathes and am having trouble finding a post that will work for them. The controllers are: OSP-E100L, OSP5000L-G, OSP-U100L and OSP-7000L. I tried to convert an old (version 5) post with poor results. Can someone steer me in the right direction or have a post that will need minimal modification? I tried my Mastercam reseller and was given a post that does not output LAP cycles correctly. I hope someone can help. Thanks
