We have a Hyundai Kia lathe with a Fanuc 32i control. Our tool life function is not showing up. Any ideas?

I will try it next time I am at the machine.

I used the same endmill and left the same finish amount (.02" per side) and it cut right on 1.0" measuring with a micrometer. Maybe my max speed is throwing thing off. If I change the step wont the...

Why would it be right on at 1.0"?

I got my used cnc router running and changed the steps in the config to get it to cut a 1.0 square. This ended up a 2030 steps. I have no idea what the pitch on the lead screw are but when I tried to...

Are the UC100 reliable? What is required to go with the smooth stepper control? Are they reliable?

I bought a used cnc router and would like to be able to use a newer computer with Mach3. What are my best options?

Thanks

If I am going to be in the 3k range I would rather have a machine like the Jcut 6090 in your link. I could not find a price for that machine. Does it have true linear guides like the X6-2200? I also...

Any opinions on the machine in the link below, they are within driving distance for me??

Thanks

I agree that I need supported rails, I just have not found hardly any machines that have them. It looks like shipping will be 1/4 of the cost of the machine. Is there a better option?

Thanks

I have not found many machines with true linear guides like I want. Doe anyone have a list of other reasonable machines with a supported linear guides?

So it looks like the X6-2200L is the one to get? I really like the guides. Is there anybody that sales them in the US? Shipping was like almost $500. Is there any other comparable machines even...

When in mdi I call the tool with a T0103 for t1 offset 3 and it does not show up correctly for the absolute position. We have some older machine that will do this(O-T).

I am trying to assign a totaly differant offset to the same to for a differant operation. Instead if T0808 I used T0818. My problem is that that will not pick up the geometry offset numbers, How...

It looks like you are right. 6073=m46 and 6074=m47 but there are not any of those O9001 to O9009 in the memory. I assume that I would need O9003 for the 6073 call and O9004 for the 6074 call?
Where...
