I run a Mazak VMC with the M32B controller. Currently running castings and most of the time I don't have an issue but with casting variability I am breaking tools on the initial cycle.
Right now my tool will rapid in Z to 0.1 above the Z0 and then it starts to feed. I need to figure out how to stop the rapid at 0.25 above Z0 and then start feeding as normal. Driving me a bit nuts and I have broken 3 $150 end mills so far during this run.
