Figured this out a few days ago. Turns out the spindle has to be stopped on this machine before the tail-stock will retract. Putting a M05 command (spindle stop) before the M86 (tailstock home) and...

Having trouble getting an M86 command to work in the middle of a part program. If I have any machining operations before the M86 command the tail stock does not move and I receive a 1014 alarm which...

We use mastercam 2017. On the Haas we have them cut out an emblem in Delron so it is fairly forgiving except when a z offset is not set correctly. On the Hardinge we cut a 1" shaft out of 6061...

I don't think my boss would go for cutting the lab from the curriculum. It is here to stay. We actually don't have a lot much money for machines the Hardinge was basically free from another professor...

All,

Wanted to get your thoughts on training graduate students on the use of a CNC lathe and mill for use in a lab course. The current problem is every semester (4 months) a group of graduate...

Can't remember where I heard this but on a slant bed cnc lathe is it incorrect to use a right hand tool and turn toward the tailstock? Incorrect, in that it could damage the machine. I maybe...

You were right. I was not setting the work offsets correctly. On this machine I had to reference the machine on the control side to machine zero. Upload the code. Set work and tool offset. Return to...

Full disclosure I am not that experienced with CNC but I am out of ideas as to why a certain line of G-Code is causing issues. The problem is as follows. After referencing the machine to its zero...
