Maybe someone can help - old dead Mazak lathe - EIA-T controller
Unfortunately you are probably going to have to set up an account with Mazak to get the information you need. It's standard procedure with most machine companies to have you sign a document about not making any parts for anyone that could be used for weapons or bombs. Also without an account... -

Mazak QT-8 SP homing problem with servo motor
Hi Eddy, I had the same problem you seem to be having when I first got my machine running. The sub-spindle would just home when it wanted to.

No, I don't have any tools that are that far back. The little boring bar that is in the pictures just clears the sheet metal. I have that same bar in the opposite hand. If it were in where the bar in the pictures is, it would take out the insert or cut the sheet metal or some other not fun... -

Thanks Guys for all the help. When I got the machine it had 6 Sandvik Capto C3 tool holders and tools mounted on the turret but no standard boring bar holders. I'm making one now from the drawings in the operating manual. I definitely watch where the tool changes happen if there is a drill or... -

I have been looking for anyplace that would show how to correctly add a drill into the tool set so it actually cuts on center. The only way I've been able to get it to work is to hit the side of the drill on the back side of the tool eye and then under offset-1, X, put in the diameter as a...
