I need some help with an Okuma G81type turning cycle, using rough & finish tool. I need someone to post an example of the code needed to rough turn and finish turn the OD of a steel part. I have the code for using 1 tool but don't know where in the cycle to insert the tool change to do the finishing to my part. Right now I am writing two different programming cycles and it would be nice to just write one canned cycle that will do the entire turning cycle. I am setting up on an Okuma 5020L control. Thanks for any help! Barney

Here is an example of what I'm using right now, works ok but I need to rapid back and change tools to the finish tool, just don't know where to put the tool change, please post a program example of how you would do that, thanks
