hi all,
just got me a converted (mach3 turn) Boxford 240tcl lathe, with an 8 tool turret.
all was going well (ish) until i shut it all down, had some grub then turned it all back on an hour or so later.
it seems to have forgotten what tool is ready to cut. i.e you mdi T0101 and it says "tool is already in position" but tool 4 is there. you type in T0606 and you get tool 1......... and so on.
i have spent many hours looking all over the net to sort this and the only thing i have found is "you need to calibrate the turret" but i cant find out how to do that.
one thing i do remember, is when i first got it going, i got a pop up in mach that asked "what tool position" i looked at the turret and entered in the tool that was in the cutting position. guess i need that pop up to come back, but i can't get it :-(
any ideas?
thx
