I'm bringing an old Beaver CNC lathe back to life after a few idle years.
I wanted to make a little MDI diddy program to move X & Z around doing tool changes at the extremes of the programs movement. Works fine using G00 motion commands, but under G01 it sits there displaying the correct 'distance to go' and never moves. The screen displays the correct feed rate that I've given in the command.
M01 Z500.00 F0.15 (LF) hangs
but
M00 Z500.00 (LF) does what it should
It's as though 'feed hold' was asserted, but I can monitor the feed hold buttons (on and off) using the controller diagnostics and they work fine.
. . . so what am I overlooking - it's got to be something simple ?
