I created a big part of my post with the Option File Generator but I have problems with the tool change and the drill cycle.

I am not able to place the next tool on the same line of command ( ex: T01 T02 M06)

And I have to add the G83 (or 84 or 86...) by myself in mt text file.

Hello Plast-art
Were i work we have a new lathe with live turret
nobody knows how to turn it on, or how to run it?
can't even get the spindle to turn on?

what is step one
what is the propper way to home out the machine when it come on.
any help at all ?
I dont want to go in to it blind
company has sent 4 men to learn how to run it
none of them know how after going to the mazak school

the parts are needed to run are not that hard to make
or lots of different ones.

thanks sidecar82
