It's wild these days setting tools. I have several machine tools in the shop from the 80's to just a couple of years old, and there just seems to be so many ways to set them up. Thanks for watching
Heck yeah, that's cool. A lot of my videos are on fanuc machines, but I also cover the other machines in my shop as well, but mostly fanuc. If you ever get into cad cam software or hand programming, I have those too if you are interested. Thanks again for watching
this is a really informative video thank you for making it . a quick question however . we bought a boring bar and it is considerably longer than i believe it needs to be . the tool salesman said we could just cut it but i feel as though that's not the best way to deal with this . any information on this type of scenario?
Unless you have room to hang it out the back of the holder, cutting is your only option. We've had to do it to a few of ours. Or of course buy another, shorter, boring bar lol
The good news is there is a reason. Depending on the model of the machine and how the manufacturer have the parameters set, the machines center of rotation can be in multiple locations. This is also true with the Z axis. Meaning some machines you can simply put a positive/negative value depending on the side of the tool that you are using and from the center of rotation and you've safely set the tool, and from there you can adjust accordingly. However, other machines the center of rotation is a transferred value from the machines home position. Meaning the machines "center of rotation" is at home position and must be set using this method. Also, it is good to note that once you know the distance from home location to the center of rotation you can simply save this value and each time you setup a tool use the method you describe and input your adjust as a +input / write. Thank you again for watching.
if he's just indexing the tool instead of calling it up in the MDI then this might be the reason "X1.01 measure" doesn't work, you can clearly see that the machine thinks its at T0101 even if the turret is t11 doesn't mean the control knows that
If your machine has a single turret, and your work holding is the same with the same size boring bar. Your x location will be the same for both spindles. because they rotate on the same center line. I show this in my Haas ST-20Y video. Hope this helps, and thanks for watching
When setting z you can use a tool eye/q setter or you can touch it off the face of the part just like your turning tools. Here's a video using the tool eye on this machine th-cam.com/video/qsOkxyRLabE/w-d-xo.html

@@aaronrunk4209 36yrs fanuc, yasnac, fagor, tosnuc, Mazak, etc... Never recorded a tool offset in that manor, I know it works, but good lord it's complicated 🤯
@christian heidt that's a lot of experience sir and also good to know that it works at all those machines. I'll have to set it up and make a quick video showing that method. Thank you again.
just type X1.01 press "MEASURE"
Thanks bro need more like you
Thanks for watching!
Whatever works for you. The controller will do the math for you using the X measure function. I agree.

Great video!

I'm currently working on a 3" Tees on a JohnFord (Fanuc) cnc lathe

Good information
Thank you for watching
Why didn’t you just put X1.010 hit Measure and the machine does all the math for you on the X offset

Exactly what I was thinking
Can you do a video on how to set up a drill? I seen it do with a piece of paper, t010 and Z0
Hello, thank you for watching my video. Here is my video for setting up an insert drill

Now say we are doing this on a Tsunami. And we need to find x on the sub spindle side. How do we do that?

sorry to ask sir , how to find z axis ?

Why don't you press measure X1.010" ?
