It's hard for me to understand the dimensions of the drawing, because of here we are using millimeters. But the way you programmed the Smooth control, I perfectly understood. Thanks, MartyZ
I have a question about tech z offset. I was running a Mazak yesterday. we where shorting the length offset in z . I would normally put in a neg number to shorten the length of the part. on the machine it was a positive number to shorten the length. I am wondering why. touching off the face with a pc of paper to set the z offset was also a positive number. which is weird to me. Since I am new to Mazak . I was wondering if it will always be like this? thank you
Because the position in the machine is the correct way, as a standard, so what Mazak did was reverse the input for the user since we usually turn things from right to the left, so if you see a position, it's in negative, however you program and set in positive, so you don't have to keep put negative simple for every dimension you're inputting, trust me that it's a huge plus, I worked on Siemens and everything I had to add negative simple into, so it's just one of many things that Mazatrol designed to simplified and shorten amount of time to create a program, just have to remember that when you're in front of zero, now you have to prpgram in negative . Hope this helps
@@martyz3232 Thank you for answering my question, I always that thought that z zero is on the front of the face? I understand that when I scale out on a bar feed mat and touch the back of the jaws that's I teach z -5.00 if i am scale out to 5 and .0952nd. I am a little confuse about the face touch off. I am thinking that when i put the positive number in and go back to position and look a z it is showing -.004 when I put in a positive number. which means it is shorten the part. I am wondering if it will always be like this? or does it depend on how the program is written. I did watch your home position smooth video I see that there 3 different ways you can teach the z. I do think your right about it being easier. I am use to running Doosan and g code. Now i am learning Mazak matrix nexus 250 and 350. Thank you
Thank you... These videos are wonderful.
Glad you like them!

That's the whole idea, to understand how you can use these options that literally can work as well as if you wrote a manual program.
You can convert the values in mm sir
