Is there a good on line course to learn how to manually program Fadal VMC? I am having problems

with I and J and need help. Can anyone recommend a book or manual.

It has been a few years for me on the Fadal, but I believe you can use an "R" value instead of I and J. It is smart enough to know where the circle center is and all you need is a + or - to control inside or outside radius.

tom sofia; you must set your tool lengths off the top of the work piece and work from there. your offsets will change with each different part you work on.

Paul, Tom

I don't work with Fadal however:

If you are going to set your tools off the table as I do. You can then put your part height in the workcoordinates G54-G59 if you have them or in a fixture offset.

Touching off every job in the machine is a complete waste of time. Set up your tools 1 time and leave them.

"I" is distance & direction of centre of arc from the initial point of arc alog X-axis

"J" is same along Y-axis

Could somebody tell me how to make simple program to mill the hole on different location along the "X" axis using variable "R" value. For some reason it gives me a "Radius error". Tanks!
