You should provide some more information:
It sounds like the hole is being drilled on the face. Is this correct?
The angle is off by .4 degrees to what?

I just noticed this was from a month ago....

Is your tool parallel to the Z or X axis?

Save the vodka for yourself. Just letting it sit dry overnight should be good enough. Chlorine in the water will kill anything that's left. If you really want to do something extra you can use bleach...

Let's start with a question. Why do you want the spindle to keep running when the part is done?

it has to be used

Once the tailstock is activated it has to used (advanced) to run a program. Kind of like trying to run a program without a part in the chuck. As Deadly mentioned there are M codes that can be used to...

That is correct. If it still doesn't work then go to the back of the machine & turn up the tail stock pressure. There's times on our LB 15 that we have to give the tail stock a good whack before the...

There's a screen where you can set it to use the tail stock. It's the same screen that you set ID or OD chucking. I can't remember if it's under settings or parameters. If you can't find it then I...

Our Doosan lathes use G28 or G30. G28 is the machines home position. G30 is a position that you can set in the parameters.
G28 U0 W0 sends it home in 1 move. You can use the U & W to set an...

Hi Corey – 1st thing I would do is try to contact the person who posted the video that Deadly linked in post #11.

Here’s what I think you will have to do:
1) Calculate how far the hob must shift...

Very interesting! Who manufactured the hob & what information came with it? Seems like you'd need to know exactly where the hob needs to be positioned (along its length) when it's centered over the...

A Lambo doesn't seem like it would be practical in Antarctica.

I didn't realize you had tested the program on your machine & it worked. We loaded your can cycle program into our machine & it also worked for us. We then tried my program again & it also worked....

I gave up & went with a long hand program instead of can cycle. Using either M53 or M54 I could get it to retract far enough but it always feed from that point instead of rapiding back to Z-.5 &...

I would prefer to use the can cycle. I'm surprised nobody knows how off the top of their head. Maybe it can't be done with a can cycle.

OSP 700m

I need a can cycle that will rapid to Z.1 between holes to clear a hub, rapid to Z-.525 then drill to Z-1.2.
Here's a program from GibbsCam. Not sure where Z.43 came from. Which line...

I can send you a VNC file if you PM me with an email address.

Are you having trouble with drawing it or creating the tool path?

I'm confused about how Posthaste works. Can it be used to edit posts or is it something that is used instead of posts?

Thanks Darryl. Don't drink too much!

Is there a way to program the spindle to stop & open the door (has auto door) when option stop is on but not when option stop is off?
Something like:
N24 G28 U0 W0
N25 If [some variable equals x]...

You nailed it! Just needed the spaces.
I'll have to get GibbsCam to fix the post. Thanks

Worked great, Thanks again.

Line N19 doesn't work anyone know why?

I tried a different post & now getting I & J instead of R. We'll try it in the machine tomorrow morning. Thanks for the help.

MX-55VB with OSP700M control. Below is a section of the program that's giving us trouble. We're drilling a 2 inch hole then opening up the hole with a 1.25 mill. Gibbscam shows the mill spiraling...

I know the text can be added to an existing operation by right clicking an operation tile but are there any other ways? A way to create a process that just adds the text to its own operation would be...

Yes it is. All you have to do is select the drawing in the bodybag & press delete.
Note: If you right or left click you won't see delete in the pop-up menu.

No responses? Is this just a matter of deleting the Solidworks drawing from the bodybag?

I'm editing a program in Gibbscam 2013. The previous programmer imported the stock drawing from Solidworks. I just drew the stock in Gibbs & need to remove the old stock drawing. Help a newbie!

I didn't word that very well. What's the easiest way to have the turret return home between consecutive operations with the same tool?
