    Question Using Default 4 Axis HMC Post - B Axis not indexing

    Hi,

    I have a part setup on a HMC with a B Axis as the picture below.


    Its basically a straightforward profile, with a top area that I want to index the B Axis to cut. When I run the G-code form the default "4 Axis HMC mm", it doesn't seem to index the B axis. Both Tool ops are coded at B270.0.

    Have I missed something important?
    Thanks.

    Pick the correct T-plane, C-plane and WCS. See example:

    Thank you txcncman.
    I have been a bit rusty from lack of use, and I didn't spot the T/Plane , C/Plane issue in the dialogs.
    It is now indexing correctly, and I can progress.
