Siemens alarm 61948: No material available for machining

What it means

Comparison of blank and finished-part contours shows there is no stock to remove at all - the part is already at final size or the blank is described too small/wrongly placed. The cycle terminates instead of air-cutting. Check the contour programming of blank and finished part.

Likely causes

• Blank contour equal to or smaller than finished contour
• Wrong plane/zero point assumed for the blank description
• Residual-material call repeated after stock already removed
