I don't know if this will work or not. I just purchased a cnc mill with a fanuc 18-M control. I was trying to learn how to tool change it and locked it up. The tool arm was all the way to the spindle...

I got it. I was not fully searching thru the soft keys. I hit the right arrow and stumbled into the work offset page.

I have 5 other lathes with fanuc controls and I have been around 100's of other ones. I haven't seen one that will not do a work shift. How do people operate them without work shift? I know it is...

Hello I just purchased a Miyano BNC-42T5 lathe with a Lexair barfeeder. I am going thru it one step at a time. Right now the issue in front of me is work shift. All of my other lathes have a work...

I think I have parameters that need to be adjusted. I will look for the G92/G91 to see if that leads me in the right direction. Thank you for taking the time to reply.

I have all of that information. My issue is that it sometimes works and sometimes its a nightmare. I am looking for advise from someone that has maybe gone through this same situation and found a...

Thank you for the information. The issue I am working on is in a CNC lathe so this information won't help with that. But I will use it when I blank 17-4 SST parts in my saw. Thanks again and have a...

I bar feed 17-4 stainless steel 1.25 dia. My cutoff tooling life is all over the map on reliability. I keep ending up at the current program becuse it works the best. The tooling is a .125 wide...
