Im trying to get our recently purchased leadwell lathe up and running. I am just spending a few minutes each day at lunchtime playing with it. It has a fanuc oi control. I have figured out how to set the tool offsets and the part offsets. so far we only have one tool in it and it is in tool 11 position. I set the offset on this tool but the machine doesn't recognize the offset of the tool. it says it is on tool zero. I tried using mdi to call a tool change such as T0303 but it always give me an error. Exactly how do I initiate a tool change with mdi. Do I type the T0303 and hit input or do I just hit cycle start or what. I have tried reading the manual but these manuals are written in Chinese and translated with google or something. I am used to mazatrol. Much easier in my opinion.
