Sound familiar,well you should be ashamed of your self. Get off your fat arse and find out what some of these frigging buttons do.
If people didn’t know what buttons did we would have died in a nuclear holocaust many times over.

Think of James bond with his fuckin ejector seat, he has some gorgeous chick sat next to him and he says “want the air con on?”. He then accidentally blasts her into next week, not a good look is it.
Anyway let’s talk about these babies, Shibaura Tool Retract Tool Recover
Not a great picture, but then neither was your profile picture before you Photoshopped it so back off.
Anyway I pressed them and all they did was flash.
Gertjan I love You
Two hours later me and my new Dutch friend Gertjan got them working.
I must say the result is awesome, Gertjan the Fanuc guru.
You get to stop your CNC Program, move the tool away, do whatever you want, then return it back before carrying on with the program.
Now for Fanuc users because we are years behind the times this is an absolute arse licking game changer.
Here is How you Do It
Stop your program with feed hold or cycle stop
Now press Tool Retract, Shibaura
The one on the left, it will light up. Now go into Jog or MPG and move your tool away. (This can be up to ten moves). If you need more than that then you are just plain greedy.
You can now change an insert or do whatever you want, I usually make a nice cheese and onion quiche at this point but it’s entirely up to you.
Now switch back to Memory and press CYCLE START, then press Tool Recover.
Your machine will move back, step by step, to it’s position where you so rudely interrupted it. All controled with your feed rate dial.
Don’t you just love that mmmmmm.
What more could you want? A cheese and onion quiche?
