Yes, correct.
I did as you say and understand why but still have the problem.
If you would kindly do 1 more test for me, I will hang this up before I go totally nuts.
1. Load the tap.
2. Do as you have in your last post and while on normal coords enter +6 in the Z DRO.
3. Put the DRO's on "Machine" and leave them there.
4. Soft Limits OFF, go to Auto and run 1 part.
5. I then single stepped through the entire program and recorded the max and min moves in all 4 directions in "Machine" coords.
They were : X-2.75 Set the Soft Limits as in the attachment.
Z-6.5 Z-5.89
X-2.39
6. Turn Soft Limits ON and jog in all 4 dirs. to verify that they work perfectly as per the settings and extend WELL beyond the program.
7. Go to Cycle Start and if no WARNING pops up... I'll EAT MY HAT.
Just please let know what you find.......I may need to get some CATSUP !
Thanks Hood,
