Thank you for this. You are right. Its exactly what I am dealing with.

So, long story short, I have a 95 LNC8 with a OSP 5020L control. A year or so ago I got this machine and have been slowly learning it. Never had an Okuma, first CNC lathe, and I am used to working...

Hey guys. I have been chasing this issue for a few months and I figure I should ask this group as I am sure someone has seen this before, The machine is an 06 VF-2D with a 7500rpm spindle. A...

Thanks a lot for the help. I wrote the threading cycle line with G71 a few different ways and I never got it to work. I ended up trying the G33 cycle. What finally worked was G33 with adding the...

So I have been learning this machine (95 LNC8 with 5020L) and have had some great success. Now I am trying to get any threading cycle to work and I am having some trouble. I am brand new to cnc...

I thought there was a user selectable (or identifiable) low range rpm in the post processor settings. It turns out there is not. So there is something in this post that is automatically selecting...

Well, it turns out what was wrong with the powering down during decelerating spindle was a damaged 124V power supply. Replaced that and now the machine is still 100%. I have made some parts on this...

You are right. It is still there. It wasnt changing rpm because it was in low range. I missed the setting of low range to 850 rpm in the post options. That was my mistake. Still getting used to...

I see G97. But then it goes to G96 right before the cutting moves which is constant cutting speed on. The spindle stays at one rpm even while diameter changes. Its not keeping constant surface...

This post works with the drilling and is the best woking one I have used so far. I am seeing that I have lost constant surface speed even though I asked for it in the toolpath pre post. And the...

I was able to find this in the post editor. Not sure what to do there as I have never done this before, but it looks like its set to use 181 and so on for drilling cycles. I kinda feel like I would...

I am getting G180-G191 and also G17 out of the Fusion Okuma turning post processor. From what I am reading from you all I really need to get a post that utilizes G71 and G74. G17 I think should be...

I really appreciate the response. You are correct. No live tooling. I am a mill guy learning lathe. Machine and control are brand new to me. That is great advise. I need to get into some lathe...

I have a 95 LNC8 and am learning to use it. I am modeling and camming parts with Fusion 360. I have the machine running facing and profiling just fine. It wants nothing to do with G17 or any...

So it turns out the machine was in low gear. I am used to haas mills where they switch automatically. I gave it an M42 in mdi and all my spindle speed problems are gone. I also see that max rpm in...

I found out the braking resistor is part of the vac III drive. My problem could be high impedance on the buildings electrical. Also the spindle is not running at the requested speed. If I ask for...

Thats great info. I am looking in to whats needed for input power and also researching the braking resistor. Not sure if thats an integral part of the VAC III or not. It sure seems like if there...

So after working on the lathe for the last week I have come to realize the control shutting off mid program happens when the spindle decelerates or shuts off. I have heard that these machines are...

So, this has been a project for me in that I purchased this lathe not functioning and am getting it back up and running. I would consider myself a "mill" guy and am only a few years into machining. ...

Thanks for the info. I actually purchased a Micro DNC2 unit and that thing works amazing. I am going to get some info together and crate a post on what I was up against and how I made this thing...

Hey guys. I have a 94 LNC8 That I just got. I am learning the control and CNC lathe operation and programming. I am a pretty decent with Haas mill as far as cam and making parts. My question is...

Hey guys. I have a 95 VF0 that came with a Gotek emulator in it. It is just a 20 dollar plastic nothing special Gotek emulator. I am able to load nc files on a USB stick that has no special...

So I am getting closer to having this thing set up. I need to wire up the motors. I know I have to use a resistor on the connectors as I am using 2.8A steppers. Now I need to know Do I wire them...

Thanks for that. I ordered 22awg silicone wire. Now on to the wiring diagram and recommended power supply for this setup. I have found several diagrams, but it appears there is a different layout...

Hey guys. This is my first post. I am new to machining and am jumping in head first with CNC. I just ordered The cnc ready mill from Taig, stepper motors, Gecko drive controller and I am about to...
