Hello,
I am machining a bunch of rings from a lenght of tubing. I am turning, boring , parting off then incrementing my work offsets to start the next part. I would like to repeat the program and keep looping until I am close to the chuck. I want to preset the number of loops because I know how many parts I can make and I dont want to crash and I dont have macro cabability, so, I figure I can use M98 P(prog.)Ln however I am unsure of the syntax. I am running a Haas SL 30 lathe and when I try to type the prog. number after m30 I get a bad code message.
Also anyone know if I can set up a safety zone so I dont crash into the chuck!
