  3. Re: please, i need a " trick " : how to align a long drill on a misaligned turret ?

    lathes without y are simple to align. nothing like doing the y on an okuma with a subspindle.

    now im programming.

    I cannot help on the alignment for "y", sorry.
  5. Re: please, i need a " trick " : how to align a long drill on a misaligned turret ?

    are you using "Y" axis for this tool?
    ours has y, but we never have used it. when okuma was here to align it, i watched, it was all in the settings, nothing mechanical.

  9. Re: please, i need a " trick " : how to align a long drill on a misaligned turret ?

  10. Re: please, i need a " trick " : how to align a long drill on a misaligned turret ?

    deadly, i have used plastic shims, no damage to pocket.
    as far as gundrilling, that is what we do here, you are correct, we use whip guides, that follow the drill.
    we have used gundrills on one...
  11. Re: please, i need a " trick " : how to align a long drill on a misaligned turret ?

    not a complicated part, can i ask, if you can get mastercam to give you the code, can you not just punch it in?
    I usually will use two offsets when programming a profile/partoff tool to turn with...
  15. Re: OKUMA OSP PROGRAMMING PART OFF /PROFILING

    I would think you would want to use a profile tool, as the blade is going to flex and not give you the results on turning.
    as far the program, i am not sure what you want? need more info.

  21. Re: Need help on mazak V-550 mill with m32 control panel.

    yes, you need some number in the tlo screen. positive if its the length of the tool or negative if its off the part.
    depends on the program.

  24. Re: Need help on mazak V-550 mill with m32 control panel.

    how are you setting your tlos? length of the tool or off the part?
  25. Re: Need help on mazak V-550 mill with m32 control panel.

    from the info you gave, all i can think is, something with your tlo or z workoffset, if its going backwards when you start, you have a length issue somewhere
