Hi,
I find the mazatrol setup great for getting 95% of jobs done but I've hit a brick wall with this job.
I have cut internal keyways on a fanuc controlled lathes before but struggle on my Mazak..
My google searching has revelaed that on some machines you can programme in ISO format on this control. I feel I could get the job done with this, but I don't seem to have this option, so I'm stuck trying to do it in mazatrol.
I'm not sure if I'm on the right path but I'm trying to acheive it buy using the manual Process (MNP).
But I need to be able to clamp the spindle which seems to be the 1st issue I need to solve. If I put an M210 (Spindle clamp) it doesn't seem to do anything.. Maybe I need to engage the C-Axis 1st?? Not sure how to do this..
Any help would be greatly received!
Thanks
Stew
