A quick video of how I cut my soft jaws on our DMC DL30 CNC Lathe. Some of our newer machines have jaw cutting programs on the control. The older Fanucs do not, so I just hand write my g-code in MDI. Done thousands of these short little programs and it's all muscle memory now.

The code I used:

T1111
G96 S1000 M3
G0 X10.67 Z.1
G1 Z-1.29 F.012
U-.02 W.02
G0 Z.1
X10.7
G1 Z-1.29 F.008
U-.02 W.02
G0 X7.0
Z-1.3
G1 X10.7
U-.02 W.02
G0 Z.1
U.02 M5

Very simple piece of g-code with no unnecessary fluff. I always end my code in the position of the last cut so that if I have to cut more I know where I left off at.
