TPlus- Setting turret index position.

$

Hey All,

Got a bit a problem. I'm machining a 7" long piece sticking out of the chuck with a boring bar and drill sticking out about 5" from the turret. For some reason the machine likes to index about 6" towards the chuck from home position.
The approach path of both tools is fine, but on escape the drill JUST clears the part corner, and the boring bar has about .125" interference. So its close, but no cigar.

Is there a simple way to have the machine index at home position? It would be the easy way to solve my problem.

Other than that, is the fact that I have the BB shank set at .5" when its a 1" bar part of the problem? (Forgot to change it)

I tried to edit the TPC like some had said when I had a similar problem last, but it just says "No TPC data"

I've gotta get this running tomorrow morning ASAP.

Thanks for the help,

Ed.
