  2. Re: M and G code table Meldas 60S swiss lathe

    I thumbed though that manual I did not see a list for m-codes. It should work with the common codes but there are also custom mcodes. Those you would need to get from the machine builder.

    Re: C-Axis Orientation / Lock

    Thanks for trying to help. According to Okuma's applications department. In order to get both orientation and servo lock of the spindle you need to have the Spindle Orientation option turned on.
