Programming guide

Program sample

T300… Select tool
G0 X11.0 Z0 T3… Insert positioning
G1 X8.0 F0.08 … Cut to 8.0 mm .315 inch
Z5.0 F0.05… Cut up to 5.0 mm .197 inch in length
X11.
G0 X11.0

In general front turning machining a tool is selected and moved to readying position and then cutting is initiated. The cut direction is the “X-axis“

Program sample

T300… Select tool
G0 Y11.0 T3
X0… Insert positioning
G1 Y8.0 F0.08 … Cut to 8.0 mm .315 inch
Z5.0 F0.05… Cut up to 5.0 mm .197 inch in length
Y11.0
G0 X11.0

When using the Y-axis holder, the tool selection ①. Insert moved to cut position and cutting starts from this position. The cut direction is the “Y axis“

Y-axis holder positioning guidelines

Use a maximum of 2 in vertical gang, and do not install side by side to prevent interference issues

The workpiece and Y-axis holder may interfere with each other

Typical positioning is sandwiching them in gang

When moving from tool No. ② to ④ , program retraction position based on the amount of y-axis holder overhang.

To ensure clearance, so y-axis holder in tool position ③ does not crash into workpiece.
