Example is in inch. Check offsets and clearances first.

Watch out for

The builder writes the tool change subroutine. Check where it moves before running.
Many Fagor lathes index the turret with T alone.

Machine builders set many M codes, and they change by model and options. Check the M code list for your machine.
