HOW TO SET A WORK OFFSET ON A CNC LATHE

[@Reddit-k2l]

Tom man…. I’ve learned so much from watching you! Thank you 🙏🏿

[@expressyourselfist]

Excellent! As you demonstrated, always make sure that the tool you are using to set work offset is called through MDI to activate its offset. If you do not do that you may crash the machine ,since the offset value will be input wrong, especially on latest Okuma control:)

thanks,, still watching,,, my fanuc-o button symbols are the same as yours but there is no "measure" button,, all i have is U and W X and Z plus a work page and a geometry page and thats it,,, im still wrestling the controller on this emco-maier slant bed or maybe i shouldnt say the controller its the "how to zero and where to put it that im fighting",, i understand the offsets from past mill work but this lathe is actually very simple with what one book i found says it has "fixed scales",,that was new to me,, and i feel i may be complicating the "set-up process",, your videos are helping greatly,,,, you keep making them,,, ill keep learning,, thanks

[@TomStikkelman]

+ALUMATRIX Thanks for the feedback! I don't have hands-on experience with Emco-Maier but I do know it is a very good brand of Machinery. Thanks for watching my channel. Tom

Hi, sir! Do we need to do the same thing with rest of tools?

[@shivendrasoni4190]

this is One of best video ..ever seen

[@nupagadii5834]

So Tom in WORK OFFSET COMMON you could set up exp. for Z axis -.0035 on paper thickens and in X axis -.007 paper thickness so it would calculate paper thickness? Is that what you meant? thank you.

[@bhekidlamini51]

Hi Tom Thank for your great videos. I just wanted to find out why do we do the work offset on the lathe. I've only done tool offsets? And the program seems to run OK

[@TomStikkelman]

Lets say you had 12 tools touched off on a part and wanted to use the same tools on a parts that is longer. A work offset would allow you to change only one value and all tools would be set for that job. Hope that makes sense

[@bhekidlamini51]

@@TomStikkelmanah Thanks makes complete sense. Same as in the milling machine with the master tool.

hi sir thanku whene i watched this video i am not understand first work piece facing and od turning in video and first how to make od and facing zero(0) once thanks u sir....

[@chiruflyszepeda2773]

Great video. after you make work offset for G54 and you touch T0101 in z axis only and leave X axis in 0 than you have to do skin cut in x axis measure diameter than go to geometry and show diameter in X axis and z Axis too for tool T0101 as well and other tool as well? and must leave work offset G54 X0 in case use drill . you have great videos thanks

[@TomStikkelman]

+Chiruflys zepeda Thanks Chiruflys Zepeda. All tools must be touched off on the same face to set the Z-axis geometry . Each tool has to be set by turning a diameter and then you use that diameter to set the X-axis geometry.Once all tools are touched off then only one tool is needed to set G54 work offset by touching off in Z-axis only.Yes the X-axis stays zero. Thanks for your feedback and for watching my channel. TS.

[@trieupham1708]

Hello sir, are u still here ? My question is this : if all the tool must be touched off , and we use tool number 1 to set work offset . This means the z value in tool geometry offset of tool 1 must equal the z value in work offset , is it ?

[@kaylenalvarez3266]

your z work geometry should not be touched after setting your g54 in t1. or else youll push your z axis foward or back depending on the number you put in.

[@pauldiaz4273]

Hi tom wonder video thank you, i have question, what is difference between G54 and G50? Thanks

[@geronimosalzuelasalzuela2608]

G54 is a work coordinate, a reference origin for the part zero, G50 is the limit you set for the spindle to spin,example: if you star with an G96 of S300(surface footage) on the OD of a piece of let say 3.0 inches as the cutting tool move down on x axis the spindle have to spin faster to compensate but if you have limitations you set G50 S..... to the maximum you can go and the machine wont go any higher.

[@nadimuthuj8339]

Thank you❤❤

[@173roberto]

Tom, how do you set the too,s geometry offsets?. Could you make a video of how to read NC code on fanuc using PCMCIA card?

[@173roberto]

Hi Tom. How do I touch the Z offset for a back turning tool?. I pressed ask someone to press a flat un front of the face of the part while I placed a shim and pressed it against the tool tip. I don't really know if I Made the propper proccedure.

[@surendharthakur1]

Thank you sir very useful 😍😘

[@tomyang7788]

if you set z as -3.1 , does it mean it will cut into the part ?

[@nguyenthanhha1895]

I think it should be 0

[@timothykakue331]

hi, Tom can u do a vdo set up using tool probe. thanks

[@derekgreen7319]

timothy ka kue I think this is an okuma thing. But if your still interested you can look in the gosiger you tube page. But if you have a fanuc controller you use your master tool and set your screen to the probe page. You should be able to figure it out from there

[@craigwright9572]

Hello need help if anyone can I have got a cnc. Using it as normal I set a tool 3 for screwing put it in screwd my job went to use tool 2 today and my x axis is moving in the rong direction what have I done as I ain't got a clue new to cnc lathes and mills

[@expressyourselfist]

Excellent!!! That is right, must set tool offset first before using this tool to set G54, or else Boooom!!!!!!

[@TomStikkelman]

Hello , Thanks for the feedback. I have a course on basic cnc lathe programming on Udemy. The videos and all other documents are downloadable. Use this code to get the course free. www.udemy.com/cnc-lathe-programming-for-beginners/?couponCode=BASICCNCLATHEGCODE I'd like you to leave feedback Thanks. Tom

[@themotofix5705]

How do you know whether you have to set x in g54? Or is it always 0?

[@expressyourselfist]

What about G54 for X. On older Nakamura lathe I have to set X as well.

[@Cahliph]

x is always 0

[@danzakiautomotiveworkshop5079]

I have fanuc T3 control Kindly link me on to setup G code on the machine

[@florin4433]

Hi Tom!May I know how to setup x for G54.

[@TomStikkelman]

Hello Florin Pal. The X-axis needs to stay zero because it represents center line of the spindle. The machine looks at the tool geometry offset page in the x - column to know where the tool is in relation to the center line of spindle. Thanks. Tom

[@florin4433]

Thank you.

[@ThangNguyen-abc]

@@TomStikkelman woa very usefull

[@Danishnow]

why did u put that offset in G54 ? why not in just normal z/x axis

[@TomStikkelman]

+Danish Khan The tool was already touched off and saved in the tool offset page. If you use multiple tools on the same part, then I recommend using a work coordinate like G54, so that if all those tools are used again on a different part with a different Z-Zero location then all you have to do is reset the G54 Work Offset and all the other tools are set to the new Z-Zero location. Thanks Danish.

[@Danishnow]

+Tom Stikkelman oh now I get it , thank u

hi sir can you make video okuma tool ofset
