saving tool offsets, broken e-stop, maintenance
Posted: Sat 08 Jun , 2013 1:41 am
i'm new to CNC.
i'm working on vr turning with the test file and a microturn
1)the instructions on the step by step tutorial say to triple click on offset 1 to edit the name of the offset. i can do that but after i hit enter it does not save the name i've written. next, when i close the work offset window after using the datum to change z and x offset, the program says that it is unable to save the work offsets.
2)the emergency stop button seems not to be working. i can only turn it off by unplugging it.
3)this machine has been sitting in a closet for 10 years. is there any maintenance i should be doing to it?
