Thanks for the replies. The lathe is an 80's toyoda , and the guy who runs it says it is not G83 enabled. He also said it wont do macros either. So he just did it with G01 and G0 moves. But, just in...

We were trying to use G74 to drill a hole about 8inches deep on a cnc lathe that has a Fanuc 11 T controller.We need the drill to pull ALL the way out of the hole on each peck.
What info goes on...

dcoupar, how do I change this setting? I'm using a Fanuc 21i-TB.
I need to cut a 3inch-4 LH ID thread. I think the staggered cutting will cut best since the insert is just barely big enough to cut a...

Thanks BDG. I was wondering if the problem was related to the chuck squishing the stock. I havent had to run that job again yet ,but if I do I'll remember your advice.

I recently did a job where I had to turn, drill , bore, and part off some rollers that were made out of uhmw. The uhmw was white (if it makes any difference)and it was a solid 3in. dia. bar. Anyway,...

thank you dcoupar. I used to use the K and R edge breaks all the time on a fanuc 6T I used to operate. I never did try using them in a G71 cycle before. Now the weird thing is why did the 21i-TB do...

I'm using a Puma 280L with a Fanuc21i-TB contoller. I tried to put some radiuses, and chamfers on the part by using an R and a K in the program. The machine would do the radius , but not the K...

Hi, I'm having to learn how to run an old Toyoda GT52 with a Fanuc 11 T model A controller. The previous operator did not like to use can cycles (except for G71,70.and 76) so I need to figure out...

Thanks judleroy. No flood coolant on the lathe I was using. Would double drilling work? Use a drill about .030 under and then shoot for size. With most of the material gone heat should not be a...

I was drilling some uhmw the other day using the tailstock on an engine lathe and had a difficult time getting the size hole I needed. The hole ends up being about .005-.007 undersize what the drill...

I found out that the alarm thrown when the machine is given an M17 command is normal, and all you need to do is re home the machine when you are done. I was able to get the graphics going while I was...

Whenever I use a G76 I always need to rerun it after the 1st time in order to adjust the offset and get the right pitch diameter. The offset change could be anywhere from about -.007 up to -.025...

I can't remember seeing anything on the machine about it having either EZ guide, or dynamic graphic display.
It does need to be in machine lock mode to run the graphics,but when I went into MDI and...

I'm using a fanuc 21i-TB on a Puma 280 L. I'd please like someone to give me step by step instructions on how to use the graphics so I can get a look at how my programs will run. The book has got to...

I got it to run. It seems the book was right after all. The lines of code you gave me were still a help dcoupar.
The program that ended up working was this.

Thanks very much, I'll do like you say dcoupar. I'll have to check out the link later no time right now.

I'm using a Puma 280L with a Fanuc 21i-TB controller, and I need to cut a 1/8-27 pipe thread in my parts. The tap goes in the part at X0, and goes to Z-.460.I was trying to use a G84 ridged tap...

Thanks again guys. Jim G that picture helps, and I understand what you mean about how to do multiple parts.
dcoupar, I don't know anything about macro programing... yet. Is the program you wrote...

Thanks so much! I was hoping for a step by step explanation. I will try this out hopefully in a few days after I get through running an important job using the "system" they have been using.

Hi, I'd like to get a good understanding on how the G54 coordinate system works. Any online tutorials? I'll need something with drawings so I can comprehend it.
I'm running a Doosan Puma 280 tuning...
