I am looking for somebody in the San Diego area who can train us or, at least, give us an idea of how to use our lathe efficiently and put us on the right path.
I am running an old Citizen L20, 5 axis, Mitsubishi Control, Iemca barloader. We have no previous experience with swiss lathes, so I am afraid that we are running it under wrong "parameters".
So far I've been blaming on the machine for most of the troubles I have, but perhaps I am not using the right inserts, coolant, stock material, feeds & speeds, turning strategies, etc.
Best regards:
Everardo.
