OKay I am not sure what is wrong with thsi program, but what I am trying to do is have the program send teh ball end mill down to zero and I raise teh knee so the workpiece just touches teh cutter and now I have a good z axis zero. Problem is that when M0 comands a single block move the spindle does not seem to continue running till I hit cycle start for teh proghram to go on. This is lines N10-N30
Then in lines N30 -N50 I want the cutter to go down into the middle of the part, retract, and then I can measure to verify we are in the middle with my calipers. then I hit cycle start program carries on from N70 and all is well.
Then there is this message I get. 'Compensation too complex' or something like that. All I am trying to do is rough out a pocket that is less than .211 X .381 and then clean it all up lines N200 to lines N270
