need help

I am new to the cnc world and having a problem. I would like to know if anyone can help me out.
I am trying to tornado bore a hole in 1 inch plate. I have drilled a .812 hole first and want to tornado bor to .999. I have a Mazak vtc200b.
It will let me do the process as a circle mill program but when I try to do as a tornado I get the following message #676 illegal format 35, 3, 1
the following is how I have it set up.

uno tornado dia depth chamf btm pitch1
3 circle mill 1 .999 1.06 0 4 .020

pitch2

sno nom hole holdep pre dia rot
1 end mill .75 .999 1.06 .81 cw

I am using a 3 insert carbide mill .750
Please help if possible

tornado bore is allways a little quirkey when you have a little time try the old way to cnc programing cause and effect you don't have to cut parts just look at it on the tool path.

Good luck Calvinator

Rodney, is this unit 3 actually from program (Wno) 35? I'm a little confused by you getting an alarm number 676. That alarm is related to the MMS, not a cut alarm.

I finally got all of this to work right
I called mazak and they said I had to redo the program from a 0 to a 1 for the tornado bore but you cannot change it once the program is finnished. I had originaly started with it in a cicle mill

Ahh, one of the quirks of Mazatrol. Now you're picking up steam. There'll be more for milling.... One of the number of reasons I don't use Mazatrol for mills. Not to discourage you,.... Many people use Mazatrol for milling. Keep plugging away....

Mazatrol is fantastic for some things frustrating for others. Most of it is learning how it wants to do it then lieing to it to get it to do want you want it to do.

HHHmmm must be like most women ive known...jim

That's why they refer to a machine as "she" Jim...
