Milltronics Ml-15 post problems with work offset please help

[jb4020]

This is probably a stupid question but I am stuck and I appreciate any help.  I recently purchased a milltronics ml-15 lathe with the centurion 6 control and I am starting to post code from fusion via an rs232 cable which works well for my purposes.  I was able to get one part to post correctly but my problem is with the x axis and the tool wanting to cut on the x- side of my part instead of the x+.  I am using the generic fanuc turning post and i changed my "turret position" in the tool post processor tab to 102 according to the fanuc post because I am using a QCTP instead of a turret.  When I run the program after I set my G54 the tool comes up to the part ,and I watch the distance to go on my control, the z is good but the x always says it has more to travel in x+ even after it crosses the part center line.  I attached the file I am working with as a test.

I'm not seeing this in your sample file. The lowest I'm seeing is in the -.016 area:

Thanks for the reply.  I noticed also that the the code doesn't show the tool passing the center line except for the -.0163, it must be something Im doing wrong with the work offsets in the machine control.  The code calls for g54 but acts like its not getting it if that makes sense.  After i set my tools and cycle start the machine wants to travel past center but still says it is in the X+.  Thanks again.

Yeah, certainly sounding like something is off at the machine control stage. Have you run jobs in the past without any issue? Do you have your G54 set correctly?

I finally figured it out.  I had something with my tool 2 setting wrong in fusion and it was not calling the offset in the control.  Fusion posted t02 when I needed it to be call t0202 for tool 2 offset 2.  It works great now and I greatly appreciate your help and all the effort you put into helping on the forum.
