Help with Okuma 2sp-20h

[DigtalGenocide]

I am new to lathes and was wondering if i am going to be stuck with the G50 coordinate system or if i could actually use the G54-G59 work offsets. The reason I'm confused is that in the programming manual, it shows the work softkey in the offset settings page but i dont see it on the machine. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Oh and it has Fanuc 18-tc controls as well

Does your control have geometry offsets? If it does,your not obliged to use the G50 coordinate system. You still can if you want to,but don't have to.

Might want to post this in the Fanuc forum, since you don't have a real Okuma.
