We recently got a PUMA 2600Y and this is the first time we are trying to use it for milling on the face. its a simple part with 2 lugs on the face that we are trying to interpolate with an endmill. my first issue and the lathe department doesnt seem to grasp this is that the X is positioning to diameter not radius. second issue is i get an over tolerance alarm when i use g02 g03 straight from a posted out milling pattern. i got it to work typing a simple straight y move, g02 with a r.01 (it didnt like using I and J), then X, then Y again. The part is simple and i can get it to work by fudging it but i know that pieces are going to start getting more complex. any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated. I have no info at all in the programming manual (i feel as though we are missing books because live tooling is not covered at all)

Maybe this will help.

Can you post that section of your program? I'm curious to how you programmed it. I have experience using over tools on lathes, perhaps I could help. I'm just having a hard time following what you're trying to do without pictures
