OK,
I am new, but with help from this site I am up and running on the mill. Sure, I have a long way to go, but I have made some small practise parts and am on my way, So thanks all.
Where I am having trouble now, is the lathe.
I am using Onecnc, and its not mine, but I can get access to it two or three times a week. I think I will buy it though, as I am liking the ease of use. (for the mill)
So as I am having issues on the lathe, I decided to keep it simple.
Now I realise there is no Mach 3 post in Onecnc Lathe Expert Xr5, but the mill works on either default or its Mach3 for the post.
I have tried ''default'' and ''Fanuc'' on the lathe, both as ''Tap'' and ''Text'' files, and all four do the same thing.
The round bar is 29.6mm and the tool path simulation shows it pass over at 29.6mm, for a length of 100mm . I have tried to zero Z and X on the start edge of the bar, then ''cycle start''
It goes out to X38 Z4.2 and starts in so slow, that it feels like it will never get to the next line. I have not checked jog boxes or such, as I am really trying to work out why it will not go to the stock.
When it gets to line N200 it is about 80mm approx off the bar (have not meausered that exactly) when it then runs the Z-100 pass.
I tried then to instead of zeroing on edge of the stock, I told it it was Z0 and X29.6.
To save time, I edited line N190 at gave it a value of X30, and the end result was the same as the first.
It is just a test, so not trying to cut anything. Here is the code.
Anyone know what I am doing wrong?
