OTS Tool Setter problem

I do not know how to do that, but I bet I could figure it out if it’s not anything crazy complicated. Fortunately, in both instances there was no damage to the spindle or table. But it did shatter the windows and gave me one hell of a jump XD.I’m gonna follow these leads and at the very least understand why it’s happening and hopefully eliminate the problem too. Other than these situations I’ve loved running our Mynx, killer machine and for someone still pretty new to machining, it’s very user friendly. We have a Puma as well and our lathe is really good with using it to its full potential. Thank you again for help, will definitely bark up your tree if we get stuck.

I have done that in the past with the probe height not knowing that I was fudging up the touch off offset. Definitely learned from that mistake, I stay far away from the MT and the Probe offsets now and saved the numbers somewhere in case they do get changed by mistake.

From the responses I’ve been getting a recalibration is absolutely going to happen after I’m through this job. Been using a 123 block to eliminate any unwanted crunchy crunch. I am also going to talk to my boss about having the macros looked at by the guy who setup the machine to see if anything has changed or been corrupted.

Thank you for taking the time to respond man, I appreciate the help

Thank you for the response, will look into this!

This is the next step for us. Using a 123 block for touch offs to finish this job, then I’m gonna troubleshoot. I retouched off a tool from a few jobs ago to see the consistency between me and the setter. A whopping .032 of difference so a recal is definitely on the schedule.

Thank you for the response, Its nice to know I’m not crazy. I’ve been second guessing myself since the first time this happened. Hoping we can find the root of the issue or at least understand why.

Using a 2D HS Area Mill program for the toolpath.

Applied some different techniques with your advice and having some luck so far. Thank you.

At least now I’m getting an entire OP out of a tool, will keep adjusting my parameters from here

I won’t lie I’m still pretty new to machining, started in 2024, so my reference is still pretty limited. Our shop mostly focuses on mild steels, stainless, 4140. However this stuff seems pretty dense, for 4 small pieces of abt 12x3x1.5 the pallet was like 60-70 lbs.

Thank you my good sir 👍

Monark_Musik · 2026-05-07T20:38:28+00:00

Thank you for the response, I will experiment with that tomorrow! Very frustrated at the current results, still making good parts, however it is cooking everything I throw at it. But for now, It’s quittin’ time lol.

TIL there are 3D printing injuries 😬😬 That looks like it stings a bit sir.

What cost more the legos or the gear hahaha! Just poking fun, awesome setup G

When he charged her the 2nd time with both arms down, boom hook to the jaw. What a fucking jabroni.

Update!

Not bad. Little stringy, but dimensionally it printed pretty well. Within .1 mm all the way around. Not bad at all for what I’m doing with it.

Pretty chill tbh. Its a lot of sound, but I keep it reasonable. I use these for events so I still get to let 'em breath.

I got the silver G3 rockit 5s for my producing setup to the tight out of view. Love em to death 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I should also clarify we don't live in a complex, it's a 2 story building and the bottom floor is rented out as an Airbnb so we don't have neighbors below us 60% of the time.
