Great Job Phil! so helpful!! we had a 45 yr employee retire that ran this control T-2 No one else knows how to program it here. Your videos are keeping me from throwing this lathe out to the scrap yard. Thank you. We machine forging dies with very complex geometry. I would love to see a face groove program when you get a chance
The wear offset being added to the geometry in the position screen is not just a Mazak thing. I run a lathe with a Fanuc 21i-t control and it does the same. It's all about how the parameters were set in the machine. Good video Phil.
loving your videos Phil! I thank you for doing this. I just purchased a used 1989 QT15n and reselected her from a guy that was going to part it out over a bad spindle drive. I had CNC Drive Drs talk to Ken if you ever have problems. My question for you is I am in the tooling up stage for this lathe and I am wondering what your go to tooling would be for this machine. I am a mold maker by trade and my expertise is on the milling side of things. If you could please point me in the right direction. Thanks Phil!
Hey Phil, first of all thank you for all the videos you post they are super helpful. I just recently bought one of these machines and have it in my garage. Quick turn 15. I'm having problems with a battery alarm nmi 23 and I was wondering if you know the locations these on this machine?
What control does it have? T-2 has 2 and sometimes 3 batteries. Do a search on the Practical Machinist Mazak forum and you will see the battery location and the options to upgrade to better battery options. www.practicalmachinist.com/forum/categories/mazak.36/
Good video. What is the parameter that governs the drop out position/clearance diameter of the boring bar when it does the finish cut,so it doesn't crash into the opposite side of the pre drilled diameter?
Hi Phil, awesome videos. I'm learning a lot from your videos. Just one question... Why do you always choose offset 1 no matter what tool? What are you telling the machine, and why? Hopefully you understand my confusion. Thanks in advance!
Go to my threading video. For Acme thread, you would use either 1 or 2 starts and either 0 or 29 degrees for thread type depending how you want to feed in the tool. You will also need to increase the number of thread passes manually vs what the computer spits out.
hey I know this is an old video but I bought a 1992 super quick turn 15 that has a similiar control as yours but I dont seem to have the EIA/ISO option , do you know anything about them?
I'm from VietNam and using Mazak QT15N- Mazatrol T32-2. Could you make a video about " How to program knulling on the cnc turning machine with mazatrol?
Sure. Knurling needs to be done with a manual process MNP. I usually feed in on an angle to get the wheels to track and then feed across the part and then reverse the feed and pull off.
phil i am experiencing chatter noise when i am rough cutting .15" / .16" per side ( BAR OUT) i have tried two different holders (DNMG and VNMG insert holders) i get the same response the finish is good what do you think is causing this chatter noise? the noise is very similar to when you have a bad insert although my inserts are all new
@@mazatroltipsandtricks6816 ok i will thanks i should add i am only chucking on 1/4" of this 4" diameter solid steel that is 2.25 long but i don't think it matters since i don't get this bs on my okuma lathe with almost same chuck and same jaws...
Excellent your videos! I have been working with Mazak for years with T2, T3 and T32-2 controls ... Currently where I work there is a problem with QT-35N with Mazatrol T2 control (the parameters were erased) and we have not been able to recover them because that information is not easily accessible .. Do you know where to get those parameters?
You will need special software to communicate with the controller to backup the system. An alternative is to take photos or pictures of the parameter screens.
Offset 1 means column 1 on the older control. That is where you adjust the wear offset. If you leave the offset to 0, then the machine will not pick up any wear offset.
@@mazatroltipsandtricks6816 oh, I see.. Thanks for the info Sir.. How about the highlighted part in BAR, Like IN and IN with highlights, OUT and OUT with highlights?
im running a mazak with a t plus control , im making a m30 x 1.5 thread and its cutting the thread crooked rest of part is straight , i am not a new machinist i have watched your video on od threading and many others , i just need help im stumped , i did have repair guy come in and check spindle and turret and they are straight
First, create a new program PNo0 line. To copy an existing program, you push right soft key, push program copy, type in program number you want to copy from memory and then push input. To copy a process from same program, push right soft key under monitor, push process copy, type in program number you are currently using, then push input. Type in process number you want to copy and then push input. To copy process from another program in memory, push right soft key under monitor, push process copy, type in program number in which the process exists, then push input. Type in the process number you want to copy and push input.
@@ryanb1874 The machine already knows where X and Z is on the tools by probing them. The program needs to know the Z offset distance from the probe to the face of the part. X geometry never changes from part to part so no reason to require you to set it.
Hi Phil i was wondering if you could show us with a demo video or through contact of email as regarding how to knurl on a mazak using mazatrol or manual programme. Any help would be much appreciated if you need my email then please let me know as i could really do with your help. Thank you. Jay.
I will try to do a video on knurling soon. Basically it is done using a manual process. Feed the knurl in using X and Z on a 45 degree angle, the traverse using Z motion, dwell for a few seconds and reverse Z motion and back off X is how I do it with a bump knurling tool.

Good video.
What is the parameter that governs the drop out position/clearance diameter of the boring bar when it does the finish cut,so it doesn't crash into the opposite side of the pre drilled diameter?
On a T2 and T3 controller, parameter U7 controls the X retract distance for ID tools.

Hi Phil, awesome videos. I'm learning a lot from your videos. Just one question... Why do you always choose offset 1 no matter what tool? What are you telling the machine, and why? Hopefully you understand my confusion. Thanks in advance!
On my controller, the machine has only 2 offsets. Column 1 or column 2.
I am newbie with Mazda control program. Can you make a video how we can touch tools and describe tool data please ?
I have a video like that. It is called probing tools.
hey Phil how do i modify the lead out on the boring bar
say it was a tight hole, i need to back off only about .05" before exiting ?
That is controlled by a user parameter. Unfortunately the parameter is different for each generation control. What control do you have?
Phil Thanks a lot .. I want to know how to make an Acme thread ? with one and two entrance, I operate a Mazak CNC lathe machine CAM T2 Mazatrol...

The best place to get the parameters are from Mazak. They will charge you for them but it will work.
There is always a print-out of the machine-parameters from factory. If it isn't with the machine then some idiot have removed it.
Anyone can share the program for mazatrol T32-2 with bar feeder?
How to take backup
( tool-data, program, parameter, tool offset backup )on mazak controller?
You will need special software to communicate with the controller to backup the system. An alternative is to take photos or pictures of the parameter screens.
Hello Sir, by selecting the tools, what is the meaning of "tool 4 offset 1"? because when I am programming I leave the offset blank.
Offset 1 means column 1 on the older control. That is where you adjust the wear offset. If you leave the offset to 0, then the machine will not pick up any wear offset.
