No avail. one side of the tool, ( 2.000 X .0200 ) rectangle parting tool is perfect, but the opposite side of the punch line is quite burred.
The machine interlocks seem to index properly and there is no major slack in the interlocks.
Does this sound like a fanuc parameter problem or more to something mechanical?
I had a tech come in a do a grid shift adjustment a few years back and it seem to work on a similar issue on another machine we have.I hesitate to call him in again as he's quite expensive and doesn't always have the answers
Thanks for your time
It sounds more mechanical than a Fanuc parameter problem.
Maybe you can check the turret alignment and repeatability.
