Mazak QT15 533 programming error

[Pziggy]

I am trying to do a groove out on our T2 control and everything I try gives me the same error. 533 illegal groove width. I set the tool width to .120 on the tool set page and the groove is just a parting off operation. using groove OUT start dia. 1.62, z start 2.0 end dia 0. and a z finish of 2.0, With an .120 wide cutoff tool. Not sure what i am doing wrong. I have No manual so any help would be great.

Thanks

Ziggy,
Just found Your post..
Did You find a solution?
It sound like a setup problem, which toolholder # are You using ?.. try #1
Let me know , tomorrow I will copy the parting tool setup on mine if You are still in need.
If You had the manual, by now You would have been even more confused, and frustrated, the language used to write it is " Japanenglish" and the logic behind the explanations.....?? NONE !!! Who knows, it must be a cultural misunderstanding.. on My part.

I`m surprised that in more than a week nobody took the time to answer Your post, sorry I did not see it earlier.
