Your welcome, if there is anything specific you would want help with or video topic ideas; we are always here. Mazatrol can be difficult, but there is a wealth of knowledge here on youtube. Check other channels too

It is called conversational, you tell the machine the basic shape and patterns to machine. The machine converts everything you tell it to g and m code instructions to make the part.

What do you mean by medias res? That part confuses me lol The bore "Z" is not the same as work face at the top of the program. Work face is a clearance for tools to approach at. If you get a piece of steel raw stock that has .250" extra to cleanup then for 2 programs you may set them both at .125" so they both would cut off that extra material. Your ID unit (and most all turning units) are going to ask for a "Z" start point. That point can be 6" deep inside if your subsequent operations clear the material necessary.

If your program is proven out fully. Then all that you should have to do is restart where you want and watch it carefully, just so you don't have a tool welded to your spindle. Lol Stopping a mazatrol (most any mqchine) program mid run, is quite safe and easy to restart. You don't need to reteach or adjust any work positions or "Z" lengths.

@@midwestmachinists 6 inches? you can't just give it a NEGATIVE value? or is that what you mean? Z is always positive unless you really want to start in front of the part then you would use a negative number right? but even that is useless since TPC figures out how much each tool should be before z0

@@midwestmachinists in medias res is latin for in the middle of the operation say i write .01" for Work face i square my part by Facing EDGE and OD turn , then i reset the program. (for whatever reason) (maybe the drill is not the right drilll or maybe i did a too change and the tool isn't there etc do i go back to mazatrol now to make Work face "0" if i want to run DRILL and then BORE after?

The Latin phrase is new to me, thank you . And no work face is clearance for all tools. Each unit has its own tpc for minimum retract or pull off distances etc. Work face is where tools will come to that is a "safe" approach point. It will always be positive and no need to re-write to "0" for a restart.

Not to discredit your comment in any way lol but it isn't much quieter in person. The transmission was replaced almost yearly because we ran that one machine at full speed ALL that time. Lol not our money not our call

@@midwestmachinists lol i understand. over the last two weeks i've been gradually getting better, but it can be quite frustrating at times lol
