It took me a long, long, time to pound this through my thick skull. Once I did, I could figure out where certain things were being screwed up by variable settings that had been changed by people on other shifts.
I helped with friends Mazak set up, it seems to depend on parameter settings whether it uses tool data or offset or both. Thanks for very informative videos Peter.
@Edge Precision Hi Peter, thanks so much for taking the time to make this video! It has been super helpful to me. I have finally gotten my Mazak Integrex 200SY fixed! (1999 model year with Fusion 640mt control) I am trying to find the right cad/cam software to run it. Over the years I have seen you use Esprit and Master Cam, as I recall. I have used Fusion 360 before so I am leaning that way, but I thought I should ask for your thoughts on software before I take the jump. FWIW, I am a full-time pastor and part-time machinist, so cost is more of a factor than it is for most because I do not use my machines all the time. Thanks again for all the learning you have shared with the youtube community over the years. God bless... Mark
Hi Peter, I was wondering if you make special tools on your grinder for other companies? I need a special endmill made and don’t know where to turn to. Please let me know
I’ve watched your lathe tool tip radius offset videos and I still have a few questions on the tool data at the integrex. Specifically, if I am using one tool in multiple orientations in the milling spindle (oriented at 0 degrees for od turning on the front side and 180 degrees for turning on the back side as well as turning with multiple b axis angles) how to I manage that data in the controller? Do I need to create a new version of the tool for every orientation of the b axis and front side and back side turning? Will I need to build the same tools version in esprit? From the looks of your tool data page, it looks like the answer is yes but I’m a bit confused when it comes to the A B C D E…. orientation and how esprit determines what the alphabetic cut direction designation is generated.
What software do you use to program your mazak integrex by the way? Also what software would you recommend me to learn myself? I run a 650 mazak integrex myself but I'm a conversational machinist only right now, but I want to learn a CAM software so I can start programming in that besides only using mazatrol
Makes the angel of the tool no difference to g42 or g41 because the radius of the tool starts at a different point if the angle is 120 degrees on a od g42 tool or ??
Thank you.
I HOPE YOU KEEP MAKING VIDEOS. I am learning so much valuable information from you. Thank you so much! Young machinist here!
Far beyond my thinking Peter, just an old manual miller from the UK
It took me a long, long, time to pound this through my thick skull. Once I did, I could figure out where certain things were being screwed up by variable settings that had been changed by people on other shifts.
Excellent information and a subject that few hobby machinists consider, including me.

Excellent video loved the content
This is awesome, thank you! I like the parts when you're using Esprit! Let me know when you're ready for coffee and chess lol.
good video peter
you run into problems when you exceed the insert geometry. well explained peter .
Thank' s teacher
Thanks Boss
Wow. Almost too much detail :-)

Do you ever use mazatrol programs for simple turning cycles or is everything eia programs ?
