Re: Fastest way to program a face on a cnc lathe !!!---------2022 Tech from the 1990s
if i may, there is a faster method for simple operations, that works at least on okuma machines : it's speed comes from the fact that it no longer requires wcs and tool initialization, but you simply move the machine in manual wherever needed, then choose face ( or whatever operation ) : it will automatically identify it's curent position & tool, then start from it, doing whatvere is needed
thus is possible to skip initializations for start up positions
i call such methods as "hovering"
