Hey Scott_bob
I don't get the nc tape thing. The first machine I worked with was a Ikegai with a Fanuc 2T. It had X,Z,M,&G LED.
Small memory that was fed from tape. No rapid over-ride and we quickly learned to program a fast feed in place
of rapids to force feed over-ride during setups. Like why is the 1.44 floppy still here?
As for the Daewoo the thru coolant makes the drills and face mills fly. Our company is not used to seeing parts come off so smooth.
We have 11,000 rpm but the smaller pallet bed. Z is adjusted for 5.0 inches above the bed for fixturing.
We added 49 extra P-codes under G54.1 for added fixture offset.
We are trying to make tools 1-20 fixed and floating 21-32 for custom tools.
Once you set the P# (1-49) in XYZ from machine zero the next project is
ready. All tools are set to a R-probe whenever changed. This is nice for multiple jobs running concurrent.
