You forgot to correct your offset for the thickness of the shim stock. I learned Swiss work on Star machines. At the time I had only used FANUC controls on every machine I'd ever run. Two years ago I got a job with a company where they almost exclusively use Citizen machines with the Cincom controls. The Cincom control is FAR superior in just about every way from an ease of use stand point. You can touch off a tool in X Y and Z as needed with out punching in a single line of code on the MDI screen.
I just call the tool up to the bar stock and leave the collet nut loose, adjust the tool to the dia needed, and hold it there while tightening the collet nut. No shims or feelers needed. You should also be able to job the tool whichever way needed achieve the desired stickout without a shim as long as you leave the tool loose.
CNC SWISS HI excuse me I have a question can you make tapping on Y axis? I was trying to make tap using the G88 or G84 in Star SR-20 but it doesn't retract I mean it goes in M36 direccion, do you have a better idea? Thank you!
It’s the exact same for an SV. The only difference is that you would call the tool to x.3125 rather than y.3125 because you are touching it off in the X axis. Then in the offsets page instead of typing in y.3125 and pushing the measure button you will type x.3125 and hit the measure button.
I like your video but I understand it more. You should break it down further for those who don’t, even regarding using a machine key so you can call a tool up without shutting the door. Also when setting a tool we were taught to clear regular tool wear offset and then use the geometry page to reset length. I assume you have a minimum stick out on your tool sheet by the way you did it. Still, good video and hope to see you put more out in terms of the star machine ⭐️
On a star you can add an offset to your custom offset page to keep the tool farther away from your stock. That page is different from your wear offset page.

Anyone know how to change tool T14(used as thru drill) on swiss machine?
I wonder for Star SV 12 . Can you share more video for SV

What when we call the tool it will hit to the Rod how we can call it 0.2mm away from the rod in repid mode?

You need to learn more before you teaching pro.
