Hi all,
Some time ago I bought a Matsuura 710V, Phase converter etc and been experimenting with this machine trying to learn the basics. I have Alibre where I have designed parts and then had a friend create my G-code. I have minimal books on this machine. I need to learn how to get from power up to running my DNC. The machine came with a CAD/CAM DNC box which I upgraded and got a PC connected to and operating. I cannot understand how I start. I know I have to home the machine to the limit switches at power up and I have set up my tools in the carousel. I set up tool 25 with my edgefinder. Tools 1 - 5 have my cutters. I programmed tool 25 with zero offset. For a sample work piece I locked down a big block of foam. How to I work my zeroing? My machine does not support G54 (workpiece offsets?) as I understand it. I don't understand how to use G92, G91, G90. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Rob
