Hi All, This may not be the correct place to post this, but if anyone has experience with this maybe they can help me out.
I am trying to test my C-Axis on my lathe by just cutting a simple flat. I am cutting a 1in diameter bar of aluminum and trying to cut a flat that is 0.325 from center to the flat. I am programing it by hand as I do not know how to do it in CAM. I have never programmed using XC, I always used to do it with G112.... But it looks as though that feature is not in the EMC software. I am using a .375 endmill, The center of the tool is the center of the part. Anyhow, I am not getting anything that looks like a flat - the problem is, I do not know if it is problems in my machine, configuration, or problems in my program.... I would like to eliminate the program as the problem. Here is the basic move codes that I am using. % g54 t6 m6 g43 m154 g20 g8 g94 g0 x1. g0 c-110. g0 z.1 g0 x1. g0 z-.1 g1 x.783 c-130.853 f1. g1 x.5125 c-180. g1 x.803 c-230.347 g0 z.5 g0 x2.5 g0 z1.
