How do you do that?
The programming make you able to do a mill program on the edge, see the pictures below.
If you does'nt use DIAMOF (and don't) the X-coordinate will be programmed in the double value, the machine (lathe) use diameter measurment on X.. If you use DIAMOF do'nt forget to DIAMON after the milling, otherwise everything will be interesting when you try to do your ordinary turning afterwards
And don't forget to shut off the milling with TRAFOOF (yep, correct spelling)
Programming, the blue square is the milling in the example, Zero on X and Y is in the middle, Z- is down into the picture
Make a comment if you want a more detailed explanation! :)
