    Hi Fred,

    Is this lathe or mill that you are looking at? Which OneCNC demo are you looking at, Xp series or 2003 series?

    AFAIK, there would be no ready method of doing what you require.

    So would you be calling up these speed changes with M functions? Can you shift on the go?

    I also have a similar problem as you, with a lathe using a 16 speed headstock, controlled by M function. The post configuration is not as flexible in the 2003 series yet, as it is in XP, but Lathe XP has not been released yet.

    I'll give you a chance to answer so we can narrow down the field a little bit.

    First you get good, then you get fast. Then grouchiness sets in.

    from what i can tell from looking at my txt file for my
    gibbscam post i would have to build 15 different if, else
    tables for the speeds and then 5 or 6 more for the taping
    cycles then compile it into a new post file

    Fred,

    If you check in the NC Post settings, Tool format, you will find the start lines dialog. This is where you would have to insert whatever M-function codes you would need to perform the gear shift, and spindle start.

    Give us a couple of samples of your nc code required to get your spindle running, stopping, changing gears. This should include how you want the surface speed incorporated into your program.

    First you get good, then you get fast. Then grouchiness sets in.

    Is this a Heidenhain control?

    Have you looked at the post for them? I noticed surface speed listed in the "Hiddie" posts.

    Peter may be along and he is the "Man" with Heidenhain.

    So M16 and M17 would be gear changes?

    What is the S number with your tool change about? Does it have something to do with the gear change, or is it only for reference?

    m16 is pallate movement in
    m17 is pallate movement out
    the S words are the gear changes
    the number is the gear its shifting too

    hi fredt
    it can be sorted out in your posting file
    under {S}
    as long as you put in say spindle speed 5 where it ask for spindle
    speed it will then enter 5 as the denomminator
    what you will have to do is call a tool def then a tool call to make it work
    as the controller needs to activate it as its running the program
    if you get on the onecnc forum
    i will take you through it
    and help you make a post for your perticuler controller
    thanks ward
    best regards
    peter
