Ok probably an easy solution but I am not sure how to do this. I am trying to manually feed the barstock by hand to the Z zero position for a new part. So basically I am making a bunch of the same part but need to feed to the zero position manually by hand to start the next part. Is their a way to ...

lavrgs: In your Intercon program you are turning cutter comp before the clean-out cycle. The clean-out cycle automatic compensates for the diameter of the cutter. Remove the Comp Right line. If you changed the size of the cutter diameter you need to re-post the Intercon file. I changed your Intercon...

Replaying to ridekp first. Negative tool diameter In your post I did not see what version of CNC12 Acorn you are running or if you are in imperial (inches) or Metric? Please post a Report.

The other thing is...it did a 1.25 pitch even though I'm specifying 1.0 in the program. That being said, I started off by customizing a library entry that was 1.25, so it looks l...

In the manual do a search for custom threads and this will give you more details on this under 8.91 Thread Lookup

Is there a way to input a custom thread in Intercon? I can insert a g76 or g92 Command or change an existing thread that is already in Intercon. I think it would be more convient to have my custom threads already in intercon for other jobs. I am running intercon Lathe 4.5 (pro version). Thank for h...

Make sure the feed rate is correct feed per minute or feed per revaluation.

Refer 10.7.6 F6-Other and further F6 for M&G Code (image enclosed)..... Wish to know whether Intercon can accept Customized M codes - supported by mfuncxx.mac files - in the intercon program? Final target is to put these M Codes before and after the actual machining program built using standard...

Something weird is going on. If I remove the finish pass, then the roughing executes. However at the end of the roughing cycle, it goes crazy and starts moving towards the chuck. You can see in the photo below, it chewed into my work holding jig. [/quot Looking at both of your programs it looks lik...

Need more information to be able to help you. Need a report, the program you have - the Intercon program if you are doing this in Intercon and a picture of the part.

With the rain here today I just can not see that far to see into your shop to see the control, your part and print.
