No. I was referring to the placement of the G50. The machine requires three things before it will do anything:
G14

My Fanuc controlled Lathes and Screw Machines are a little more...

Sorry, I meant pull off a part and use turret A to finish the part on the sub spindle while roughing with B on the main spindle.

So if I understand correctly: when I use the sub-spindle to pick off a part I won't then be able to use both turrets in CSS. That could require too much thinking while programming. Making sure to...

This is interesting; I had not looked at this. According to the manual:

To activate constant speed cutting mode on turret B, specify G111 with G96. To restore such mode on turret A again, specify...

Well, that got the program to display correctly, but now it just alarms every time I hit go. The alarm is 743-2 ALM B Work Coordinate Mode Command Nothing. I thought this was related to the G140...

Problem Solved! The program sample I displayed was M14 in the machine. The other two programs had G13/G14 either missing or in the wrong location.

Yes the program select works. Each program is labeled with a unique program number so I could verify this. So, after front loading, the program display shows:

I'm new to Okuma machines (Only programmed Fannuc and Fadal) and I have some questions on what I am doing wrong. I've managed to load programs into the machine and I can edit them just...
