hi, i have a problem, we are running a twin turret okuma lathe, and are haveing problems with the bottom turret cutting a inside threads, as it is cutting down.
I don't understand what this means.
our "engineer" says we should use the second turret and cut up,
Does he mean use a left hand tool?
instead of a simple fix of just switching some tools around to thread from the top turret. i tried to explain to him that flipping it around will be a night mare as it will reverse all the programing and offsets as the all the + would be negatives and so on...
If you change any of it you are going to have to do all that anyway aren't you?
I don't know about G68-9. I DO know that there shouldn't be any problem using your lower turret to cut ID threads. Maybe if you let us know exactly what the problem is than we could go from there. IE. Problem with the program?
