Well,... crap.



Thanks for the quick response though

Using in a gang tool setup on a lathe. While this tool is shaped like a parting tool it's used like a turning tool. I saw the setup instructions in the manual for both and there's where the confusion starts. If I set it up like a parting tool in absolute mode there's no way to account for the width....

I got the above question in the last post answered but had to start a separate thread to get a response; link for future reference https://centroidcncforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=5219&p=44389&hilit=hardinge#p44389 Since then, I've been dialing it in and making test parts to see exactly...

I reverted to version 4.18 earlier today and the front/rear setting seems to be working fine in that version.

Just stating for reference.

Many thanks to both of you for your responses. I actually had the machine set up that way about two weeks ago but convinced myself it was wrong. I've retrofitted two mills but this lathe is kicking my butt. It's just different enough to confuse me to the point of frustration. Maybe the other persona...

Just noticed today that I have this problem as well. Did any of you get any feedback is to if it's going to get fixed?

First off, I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question but it's driving me nuts. The machine is a Hardinge Accuslide and is the subject of this thread - https://centroidcncforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=5043 I posted a similar question in the timeline in that thread but it was a holiday ...

I'm back at it this morning. I had myself in circles yesterday thinking about it and don't think I explained my confusion very well. Here's a video that I think will help. I did get my axis dialed in with an indicator so they should be pretty accurate and I increased the rapids some so that's nice t...

Yea, I read the first 4 chapters today and I think I blew my mind. Reading my own question again just now and I don't even understand it. I need to start fresh in the morning :roll: . Thanks for all your help thus far. I'll get there one step at a time. I forgot how much work the last 10% took when ...

Yea, that whole setup had me confused. I fiddled with it for 2 days and finally settled on what you just saw. Can't remember how I got there but something about steps per motor turn or something like that. Can't really remember how I got there. It's been bugging me that I got it to work but never un...
