If you hit a hard overtravel switch, check that it's not stuck in the actuated position. They can go for years without being touched, then one day they get hit. You might get stuck if you hadn't...
You may want to invest in a programming manual. Perhaps the one that comes with your machine, or maybe one by Peter Smid or a guy called Sinha. (Check Amazon) Lathes can be dangerous going in with...
Thanks much for the tips memoryman!
My mid/late 90's Mori Seiki SV50 just threw a 916 bomb on me. I have Parameter backups but have never inserted a card into the slot to back up whatever is available there. LED's on Main Control ...
Do the X Y and Z HOME indicator lights light up when you try Zero Return? If not... you're not actually Zero Returned.
Are you holding the button in the whole time or one push.
If you have a...
Have you tried anything I've suggested? Like P CANCEL on Startup and checking into Stored Stroke Limits?
Grid shift is what you use to set Home on an Incremental Machine. (No batteries)

If you have Incremental Encoders. (meaning no batteries in your Servo Drives) Gird Shift will help you set Home Position if lost.
Try turning on your Control (OMC) while holding down P and...
Make sure you do not have any Stored Stroke Limits set. Search your Parameter Manual for STROKE LIMIT, and make sure nothing is set wrong in there.
Grid Shift Parameters are for 0 control...
Yes all that is the easy way to do it, but this isn't the first person I've seen lately wanting something like this. Seems nobody either wants to or has the ability to modify a Post or Program...
It will not disable it, only bypass it. You only need to make one of those parameters 6, not all. Then you need to create a program using the proper program number that you assigned 6 to, and save...
Well you could just never call an M6, but if you're trying to use existing programming that has M6's in it, either modify your Tool changer program. (potentially program 9001) and remove everything...
Fanuc is a Motion Controller, not an ATC controller. The MTB does that. It might help if people new what Year, Make and Model of machine you're talking about and what type of tool changer it has....
Maybe just try a dab of WD40 or similar in the start zone. Might be enough to get you going.
There are so many unknowns on a home built and I'm not used to working with such a light machine. The...
Very likely in milliseconds One minute is 60000
Generally you do not want to run an end mill right down the center of a previous cut. Better to have it past center.

Did you disconnect and reconnect any plumbing? Could have an intake leak.
If your G-code paths represent the true edges of the part, just back plot it in Bobcad. Then save the vectors on your screen to a dxf. I might Though realistically this would only give you one view...
In general, the motor will likely be right under the front way cover. There will be a connector that connects the motor shaft to the ballscrew. Maybe under a cover. The motor will come off with 4...
By lowering the feedrate at or nearly so to the start of the arc. For one thing I don't think it's normally referred to as cutting speed but engagement angle. How far around the tool does the radii...
Hi Reg,
I guess I see in your first post how you were describing the adverse speed in corners problem, and by extension, your familiarity with the supplied equations.
So yes, if you're looking...
Have you been thru the Machine Tool Builders Operations Manual? If it's installed by them, the only place to find info would be in there.
If it's aftermarket, and a Fanuc control, have you looked...
Hi reg... I don't know what's going on here, but for some reason you're being drowned in a lot of excess knowledge, when all you're really after is how to adjust linear feedrates when cutting the...
I would continue to bug the dealer who sold the machine to supply the manuals. An old machine without manuals is almost worthless unless you already know a ton of things about that particular...
Curious if that has a Dynapath 10AM on it? A Tree 220 was my first CNC mill. Super helpful to not have to worry about programming the Z xis when you're a total newb to programming.
How many axis...
Forget you ever heard that nonsense about touching off the spindle face. I see some youtubers doing that and find it absurd. Under what circumstance are you ever going to be cutting anything with the...
If I'm following you correctly, that sounds about right.
Guess I wasn't understood earlier.
I always use G80 to end Fixed Cycles. My Safety Line only only adds to the certainty of the machine's condition at the start of a new tool. No matter what...
Already standard practice here.
Every tool I've ever called starts out like this: (Obviously changes to start location/H/T/S and sometimes G54 needed)

Hi Reg,
I just had to make a test when I got in this morning. Ran something very similar to your G98 suggestion. Worked perfectly fine, as I think it would on any machine. At least a Fanuc one. I...
