I don't have One Touch IGF. The saleman wasn't convincing enough. but the program has raves from people who use it. My editor is Notepad. It takes them as .min files. But to be fair, I use Bobcad...

I was new to this type of programming a couple of years ago and really appreciated the help I found online. It mostly boiled down to one website though. I am hoping to help other new folks to the...

Thanks, this works perfect!

:wave:

Thank you.
I guess I don't need all the other variables.It sure is plain and simple. I'll run that. Get back to you.

What I am trying to do is replicate the G75 groove cycle from a GE/Fanuc (Hardinge T-42SP) to the Okuma OSP-P200L . I am cutting a .034 wide (carbide tool) groove from .570 to .360 dia.(Using...

Thanks for your replies. I will be on this soon.
Then I'll know for sure.

G73 X__Z__I__ K__D__L__F__E__T__

The "I" has me confused. It's my comprehendtion of certain words.
"The shift amount" in the X-axis direction. I understand the Z, but having a problem...

I will use the graghics when I have the time to experiment, and not worrying about rate for the day. Yep, I work in an aerospace job shop. Time i$ money to these guys. But I do play when I get a...

I have #1 as an eyeball test of the g41 working or not ! should have a radius on the corner of the bore of .010. #2 the breakout on the 30 deg. angle were too deep by about .010 or so. This is an...

"P" values A ok. 3 for od and 2 for id. The reason to delete "You need to remove the G0 Z3.5" is a rule?
I will post a picture tomorrow night to show my problem areas.

Thanks you.

Thanks for all your help. There is no IGF in the machine. The owner didn't want to buy it.What I mean by trouble with the g41 is this. I do alot of detail work on our parts. Like a radius at the...

Thanks for the input. I did put this program together from one that was done on a computer from the "setup tech" who showed me how to use the mahcine. I have been using fanuc for years.(A big change...

I am having trouble activating g41 on this new machine. There is a rough pass but it's not the same as I need for the finish pass on a casting. I am wondering what am I missing? Thank you for...

Copy and rename that .min file to a .txt and transfer it that way. Hope it helps, btw, I do it alot, Bye.

All of the safety features are nice, but really hamper my work.
I just wanted to make sure that I didn't overlook something in the Okuma books.But, are there any "tricks"
that may be helpful? I did...

We have a new Okuma. How are you supposed to cut jaws etc. with this door always locked? The spindle etc works in MDI but I would like to see and cut at the same time. I can't even get the tuuret to...

That's what I use over my top plate. With the holes every 1" apart it's easy to cut up into pieces the table size. Mine is a 12" x 12". (IMService 12 x 12 x 4 CNC router) I used 1/4 20 button heads....

Yes, we had a guy there for 4-1/2 days, very helpful, I am a terrible note taker.

Canned cycles and format rules, you know, "details"!
All time waisters, but all well learned in time.

Even if it is a metric thread it has a designated decimal thread per inch recognized just by it's pitch and leave the machine where it's at. Just a though.

After getting everything worked out alarms cleared and chips are moving. I am using a tailstock and two milling attachments. It's been since 1995 I had the last new machine to run. Simply love this...

What got to me was all the alarms this thru up. Picky for sure.

(chair)Hi all. I have been running Fanuc's for over 15 years and now have been "given" a new Okuma LB2000EX Space Turn with tailstock to learn to run. Why the first job was "HOT!" is beyond me. I'm...

Pay per view at Rapid Share? Cheap shot. And NO there is not a free download available.

This is a great machine and software package for the hobbiest.
Price is right and it is all plug and play.
Been a machinist for 30+ years and cnc for 15.
Thanks all.

I have been to this site for quite some time now. How long, geez can't really recall that. So my excuse is: Actually I am OVER 50 hehe.. and have CRS(Can't Remember ****). But g-code and cnc lathes I...

now for my next trick, stay that way. i enjoy forums, and some correct
answers now and then..hehe.....
