I used the lathe tool setter too. Quick and highly accurate
Do you have any wear offsets in the tool table? Conversational will apply then, manual won’t unless you specify such
Is it simply possible that the part is slipping in the collet/chuck?
Here it is: Alt-M
Toggle auxiliary solenoid on and off (requires SmartCool MultiCoolant Module, PN 37168)
1Cancel manual override with Alt + C or any subsequent M-code command.
But...
Then whats the keyboard shortcut for M8 and M9?
Alt-M ? Is that documented somewhere?
Anyone know how to add an extra coolant button to PP to allow you to choose an M7 coolant during manual moves or with conversational?
Unfortunately they didn't add the very simple thing I asked for - split the coolant button into two - M7 and M8. Currently you cannot get M7 while the machine is running Conversational code...
It won't even come c lose to holding those tolerances
You cannot do it based purely on wiring - you need some electronics.
You can also just load the subroutine as you would any other file, and run. it
Are you using Fusion? If so, ion the post processor options, there's an option called "optional stop between tools". Make sure its off.
Mine lives in there too. I was able to tighten all three firmly without a change in calibration.
I don't see any reason why it would loosen. Its not subject to rotation, or much vibration in probing routines.
Pitch is the distance between threads, not the number of threads per mm. So the number of threads per mm is 1/pitch = 1/1.25 = 0.8
An update. I found my probe to be out by about 8 thou, but not consistently in the same direction. Furthermore, it disagreed with my Haimer when measuring things. I decided to recalibrate the...
Just turn off the break button and it'll go to the next tool. Its under the cycle starts button.
Terry - well, mine is consistently out 8 thou! in X and Y. I had not noticed this before, because all I ever do with it is set my work offset - and I use middle of the piece about 99% of the time...
OK, I'm off too test mine!
Along similar lines though, I found that the stated height of the ETS was inaccurate. In order to get it to agree with my height gauge (a mitutoyo one), I had to adjust...
With respect to engraving text, selecting Trace or Engrave in Fusion depends on what text format you are using. The "space between the lines" that you refer to is because you are using TrueType...
I use the Smartcool - with flood and fog buster (not the air blast as I can do that with a fog buster anyway). I like it mostly, but it is not always reliable. Sometimes it points where it is meant...
Thank you!
Easiest metod is to use a spindle camera

Actually, Torch will send you a second capacitor for free which you just connect in parallel with the first one.
To properly oil the turret, you need to take the cover off. You'll find the switch that determines when the correct tool has been reached (2 wires). Oil goes into the cavity in which that switch...
Is there oil in it? You can top it up quite easily
@rdsi:
My app works with coarse and fine threads. I have not tried it with metric threads, but I think the same calculations would apply - I'll try that and report back. Yes, I wrote it for use...
It's just the science you derided in your post above. Given that you've been an expert at trigonometry since the age of 13, I'm sure you can figure it out.
There absolutely is something scientific about it - and it can be easily calculated. Because you are using a sharp point tool, you need to cut to that - which is NOT where the thread definition...
