Re: spindle on on tool change
I am guessing that when Marty directed you to the Operator's Manual, it was to look at the T code in Chapter 9; to look at M0 and M5 in Chapter 11; and to notice the absence of M6 in Chapter 11 (M6 is a mill code, not a lathe code).i have it ,any particular page ?

While I understand its a rather large manual, it is worth reading through. It goes over setting up tool offsets, part zero's, there is a table with the M codes and G codes.
M3=Spindle Forward
M4=Spindle Reverse
M5=Spindle Stop
T0101= Change to Tool 1 offset 1
T0202=Change to Tool 2 offset 2

Re: spindle on on tool change
On a lathe you do NOT put in an M6
Simply the tool number and offset number
T0101 Cycle Start
Try it in MDI

Re: spindle on on tool change
just so we are all on the same page
mdi m3 ,m4,m5 sxxx m8 all work fine
t0101 ect changes the tool on the screen but does not stop the spindle/coolant or move the tool post to the g28 position (check tool)
and with motor/ coolant on, etc m0 does nothing when typed into mdi
so if the pp format is correct then i guess something is not right with the control set up .
Any ideas ?

Re: spindle on on tool change
Yes, your Gcode needs to be formatted accordingly. Its not the Centroid Control.chessie wrote: ↑Tue Feb 23, 2021 12:12 pm just so we are all on the same page

Try a Fanuc 0T post processor.
Marc Leonard (cncsnw) has some info on his website: http://www.cncsnw.com/PostProcessorsLathe.htm
Search the forum here for Centroid Lathe Post Processor. I think a couple of guys have worked on them.

Re: spindle on on tool change
thank you
i just ran the mm encoder pawn program , i had to make a change because the version that came with the software still had g20 not g21
after i changed it it ran and did the tool change properly
So im just after a lathe pp for fusion now that works
thanks for your help
