So, I'm kinda used to what to do on the CNC mill, but on a cnc lathe if you're part way through roughing or parting off and the insert/tools calls it quits and starts chewing things, is E-stop the only option or what do you do? This is probably what worries me the most about this turning thing, walking away for a few minutes and next thing I know big mess... I pretty much only do stainless of various flavors, a lot of it gets parted off, so not much give there, so just want to be sure of best way to recover from that?
Gonna change tips more often than I would on manual lathes just in case. Also maybe change the roughing procedure to only take a few cuts, M0, take a look, an continue on if its a part with many cuts to get down to dia?
Really wishing I could have gotten this CNC learning and screw ups out of the way on someone else's machines back when I had a day job, however short that might have been...
