Hi all, I'm very new to CNC and have plunged into it head first. A friend of mine is a CNC machinist however is experiance is limited in lathe work as it relates to the G Codes.

We tried to perform a simple ID threading operation but I either get an Alarm or it does something weird.

Here is the code!

%
O0800
G20
(PROGRAM NAME - XXXXX DATE=DD-MM-YY - 16-09-04 TIME=HH:MM - 17:10 )
(TOOL - 1 OFFSET - 1)
(ID THREAD - MIN. .5 DIA. INSERT - NONE)
G0 T0101
G97 S200 M03

My machine does not recognise G32 and I was advised to switch it to G92. It runs without an alarm using G92 however it does not perform the operation as it is suppost to. It seems to reverse the operation. My machinist said if I try running it I will crash the machine.

I am very frustrated as I need to make parts with an ID threat.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. He advised that there are no proper Post processors for HAAS lathe's and that I believe the said the closest POST processor is MFLAN.


Thanks

Todd!

PS I hope I posted this in the right area!
