Very interesting video that you made here & it is one that I will be putting into practice soon enough since my old 2 axis lathe died it's final death and I get a brand new l2000m and with more capability on the machine means more advanced work will get put on it. Your explanation was very simple to follow with clear examples which were easy to wrap my head around and I have started to look through the rest of your videos for extra tips on the new software that I will be using. Have a good day.
Charlie, can you tell me how far back in control series the various "advanced" M codes you're using here are valid? M190, M211, M213, etc. probably don't work on my old OSP5000 control?
It works a charm on a okuma lu4000 ex. Twin turret. Just wondering why it keeps locking and unlocking the chuck. Instead of just locking it once and then unlocking when C ref is needed. After each cut in z it turns off then on again
Hi Charlie , always enjoyed your videos. Could you please make a small video on using bar feeder on okuma lathe with OSP 300L control. I do my programming in IGF . Thanks in advance
Thankyou Charlie for teaching us this. I'm looking into buying a lathe. Can you tell me why you would choose Okuma over the other brands? Also how long have you been around Okuma lathes? Regards LeRoy
I pick Okuma for several reasons: the first is that Okuma doesn't tie you to the past like other NC controls. We in the industry have been trained to do things a certain way, even if they make no sense. For instance, why do we all have to know O-9999 means all programs? Okuma is in this century with PC based logic such as ALL PROGRAMS instead of a secret handshake. The biggest reason I think Okuma is the clear choice is the number of Okuma products older than 30 years that are still out there making good parts. I like to say that the biggest competition Okuma faces is old Okumas. These things run forever!
@@pocketcharleywithgosiger "Run forever" is exactly why the deciding factor to go my MC4VA won out. I ran the same model at my old work and over a 15 year span needed a tech to come in 3-4 times total for it.

Hi. Great video! How would you do a spiral broach? For helical gear broaching ?
Broaching? At that point, I'd probably be hobbing or skivving
@@pocketcharleywithgosiger ok, but is it possible? How to go about it?
@@slavikmarinovski2249
This video shows straight hobbing, but helical is simply cocking the hob at an angle
How do you draw the Broach to work on IGF ?

im working on a osp200l if i call M110 i aslo need to cal M142[clamp soindel in location) is the obsolet on newer controlls

Sure! Are you using a push-to-turret advance or a servo unassisted barfeed?
The g190 is definitely alot less code than the longhand boring cycle I was using, awsome since I have to do some more parts, thanks Charlie
Excellent! Have at it, compadre

@@dmsentra Thanks for sharing! MC4VA is quite the battle ax.
