Running the Program

The first step in running a new program is to establish datum.
Remember that to chose the center of the bolt circle as datum.

•

Place the workpiece into a vise.

•

Position the tool over the workpiece where you
want the center of the bolt circle’s datum to be.

•

From the DRO screen, press the

DATUM

softkey.

•

Press the

X = 0

and

Y = 0

softkeys to establish the

current tool position as datum, and then press the

USE

key.

•

Return to the program by pressing the

PGM

key.

Perform a second dry run, this time allowing the table to move
to see if we have correctly set Zero.

•

Press

RUN OPTIONS

then press

DRY RUN

Check that

GRAPHICS ONLY

is not selected.

• Now press the

key and check that the tool is

clear of any obstruction.

• Press the

key again.

MILLPWR

will run each

step without stopping.

If the cursor
is positioned
past the last
step, MILLPWR
will automati-
cally go to step
