WARNING
After you enter or copy the initialization data, make sure that all data is correct.
Material : Select the same material as the actual workpiece from the material
menu. If the desired material is not on the menu, discontinue
machining the workpiece. If an incorrect material is selected, or an
incorrect cutting condition is used, the tool may be damaged, and
even injuries may occur.
Shape, outer blank surface, inner blank surface, blank length,
and molding outside/inside diameter points
: Enter the correct data that matches the actual workpiece. If
incorrect data is entered, the tool may bump against the workpiece,
possibly causing damage to the tool and/or machine, and even
injuries.
Maximum rotation speed : For the machine spindle, workpiece, and workpiece fastening jig, do
not specify data higher than the maximum rotation speed allowed
for them.
Running the machine with incorrect data may allow the workpiece
and/or jig to come off by centrifugal force, possibly causing damage
to the machine, and even injuries.
Coolant : Set coolant selection to ON as required. If it is set to OFF when a
coolant is necessary, the tool may be damaged, and even injuries
may occur.
Finishing allowance X/Z : Enter the finishing allowance data that assures safe finishing work
for cutting. If incorrect data is entered, finishing may result in
damage to the tool, and even injuries.
End–surface allowance : Be sure to enter the same end–surface allowance data as that for
the actual workpiece.
If incorrect data is entered, the tool may bump against the
workpiece, possibly causing damage to the tool and/or machine,
and even injuries.
Product length : For a two–path lathe with two facing spindles or a lathe with a
subspindle, enter the same data as the length of the actual product.
If incorrect data is entered, the tool may bump against the
workpiece, possibly causing damage to the tool and/or machine,
and even injuries.
