We have a mill (1996 Mastuura) which has a yasnac i80 control. I want to be able to use an M-code to shut down the machine while running unattended operation.

I plan to do this in a sequence

You're right on a per part basis the cost is rather trivial. I suppose I'm just interested in manufacturers who are generally the most reasonable. Every time a new part is needed, the up front costs...

Looking for any thoughts on reasonably priced swiss tooling. I've spoken to Kyocera, Genswiss, Iscar on their swiss lines. Back turning tools seem to be the most expensive tool around, $130 for the...

Just wanted to confirm that the P/O + CAN (P and O are same button) solution worked on our Hardinge T42 with 18T fanuc control when it had this odd 500 X+ over travel error. Thank goodness!

Yup this is how we do it. I find setting the sub is odd. It's hard to do the math to find out where your cutoff face is in relation to the machine's "natural zero" so gizmo_454's method is how we do...

You might want to give Citizen in NJ a call. Or Dynamic Detroit. Citizen has legendary phone service. They are very pleased to help. They'll also review your programs (you gotta write it though) and...

We have two feeders (both on Citizen M20's) - IEMCA Genius 120 with 24mm channels running 1/4" bar stock. And an Edge C-320 with 20mm channels running 3/8" and 1/2" stock. The IEMCA specifies 32wt...

Have you contacted IEMCA Bucci? They do have techs, but you might have a bit of trouble getting them in a timely fashion. Not terribly impressed with the service side (or the feeders tbh. We have a...

dhardt, thanks so much. I guess we're way low. Now just one thing, this machine has an 18T, not TC. Is it possible this machine would have lower specs? Or just a different way to write the same...

Looking to confirm rapid feedrates for a Puma 200MS.

Parameter is 1420
Current numbers are
X: 10000
Z: 10000
C: 54055
B: 10000

We think my partner may have dialed down the rapid...

Yup, that looks great. Feed up to 0.7mm/rev too. Have you used these drills before?

Yes they do ship to Canada. We pay by visa but I think they will check your address to make sure it's a business. They're great, anyway. Typically get stock items over night to Toronto.

Application is drilling a 9/16" hole into 6262-T6511 (similar strength to 6061 but much better chip breaking). Hole depth is 1.375" but access is more like 3.5" deep (max). Drilling about 100-200...

Ok here's a bit of an odd one. Boring using G71 cycle. Problem is, mouth of the bore (z+ end) is Ø1.085", but deeper in the bore we open up to Ø1.240" so I assume code should look like this:

G0...

That's a neat idea, with the gauge pins. We need to run overnight so I'd have to figure it out but I can see how it would work.

This is for a small pneumatic valve part in brass.

We ended up doing exactly that - a piece of plastic shim stock extended from inside the part bin towards the turret. Works like a charm.

That's a great idea about the oil jet. We have some much...

Just started to run our (new to us) M20. Uses a basket in one of the turret positions to catch parts out of the subspindle and then rotates the turret and flings the part into the part bin below the...

Our Citizen M20(1) was throwing an S02 initial parameter error 41 and 36.

Control is Meldas 530LHC from 1997.

Two servo drives (the machine has lots) were throwing a 37 error (initial...

You should just get the parameter list. 1-2 days ain't bad for such an important chuck of info.

Our MC-510VF drops its rapids to 25% max after an E-stop and requires an axis home before it'll...

It's a watchmaker's lathe. The collets are distinctive.

Nearly useless for general metalworking unfortunately. Not impossible I guess, but you'd be better off...
