Re: Lathe Treading Questions

Sir,
You are right! I adjusted the encoder count to 4096 and the 12 tpi is perfect.
Is there an explanation for the need to set the tool offset to negative value? I set it for -.017" on this thread and got a really nice fit.
Thank you for your help and the quick response!
Tim

Re: Lathe Spindle Encoder

Success! (This is a friend of Tim's posting this.) The problem was that Windows, by default, was hiding file extensions (for known file types). So the renamed file looked like "compile.cmd" in the cnct folder, but once Show Extensions was enabled, it showed that the file was actually named...

Re: Lathe Spindle Encoder

I am still trying to get the Notepad++ to work. If I can not get the notepad++ to work then I probably should not to mess with the PLC, but I need to get that changed so the spindle lube pump is on when the lathe spindle is running, manually plugging it in only works when you remember to do it.. So....
