MASSO Documentation
It is important to understand the MASSO Lathe coordinate system and how it works with front and rear tools
The coordinate system is fixed no matter whether your tool is front or rear mounted.
To assist with setting up your machine the +X, -X, +Z & -Z axis are marked on the screen. X0 is
located in the center.
When creating Gcode ensure you use a post processor designed for a rear mounted tool only
regardless of whether your tool is front or rear mounted.
When defining your tool in the tool table you need to specify if the tool is front or rear mounted. If the
tool is front mounted MASSO will automatically perform the necessary coordinate calculations to
machine your workpiece correctly. This means you can use the same Gcode file to machine with both
a front and rear mounted tool.
MASSO Lathe works in diameter mode
CAUTION: Use a post processor designed for a rear mounted tool only regardless of whether your
tool is front or rear mounted. Failure to do so will cause unintended results.
