Hey Guys,

I am currently an engineering apprentice undergoing my mechinical engineering NVQ, I have worked on various machines such as the CNC Mazak, bridgeport, fadal. As part of my NVQ questions I have been asked to tell how to correctly set the A axis on a mazak machine, all the machines have the A and B axis already set on the machines so I have had no experience setting the A axis. If someone could give me a guide from start to end from hoisiting the A axis up to the machine to clocking in x,y,z and correctly how to do this. My assessor who goes over my questions is quite.. anal shall we say and wants every step to be perfect.

Quick responce would be awesome!

Thanks Ollie.
