Hi all,
Bear with me as I rarely run Fanuc based turning machines. I could use some clarification on how to properly set up tools on a Fanuc OI-TC lathe. The last Mori I had was an 11i control and we skimmed off the face of a part with the our OD tool in tool 1 and set Z0 then we turned an OD and used the calc feature to set the X0. We then set those to zero and when we touched off all the other tools they were relative to that tool. I am going to have to run another Fanuc machine here soon and have been reading up. I keep reading about G50 for tool set up. Can someone give me a concise explanation of how it should be done? We have been using Okumas for the last few years and they are all together different again..
Thanks
Nathan
