So I have my new to me J325. I am getting around to learning it, but is there any way someone can post a step by step instruction of how to actually program a part by the control process.

Say starting from referencing the axis.

Going from setting xyz zero to the end of writing and running a program.

For example, go to mode select, hit #. then input #, etc,etc.

I am in process of getting a manual for mine. Have gotten some done on it, but have small errors, and dont know all the definitions for all the codes or abbreviations and what they do.


For example I have been able to run a program where I get the spindle going, and it mills a pocket, but at the end it runs to home position and goes past the y limit. So trying to figure out where I am going wrong with it.

but would like to have some kind of reference to where I can get a feel of what I actually need to do.
Thanks,

Greetings-
The home position is in the "setup" menu. Hit next page and enter where you want it to be. This is using machine values, not program zero. On my J425 the machine travel is X30 Y18 (I think), so if I have a vise in the middle of the table and I want home to be a couple of inches to the right side of the vise I would set HX to 21 and HY to 12. The machine will goto this position when it reads M6 (tool change) or at the end of a program. Hope this helps.
