I'm curious as to how everyone has mounted there G0704/base. The bottom of my base isn't flat (I can see where it wasn't welded square) and rocks pretty bad with nothing on it. I'm not sure how I...

I think we're going to end up buying the macro option for a VF3 that we recently purchased. Are there any other options that we should think about having turned on while Haas is here? Thanks!

I'm trying to draw a 1/2" ball nose slot 1/4" deep in a flat plate. I can get the slot creating a ruled/lofted surface, but I don't know how to do the "ends" created by the ball nose. I don't have...

Thank You. G103 P1 worked.

What code will act as a pre-reading buffer on a Haas VF-3? I use G53 on our Fanuc control machines, but it doesn't seem to be working.

I'm trying to use tool life number on a Mazak Nexus control. I have set F113.0 to 0, F113.1 to 1, and F113.4 to 1. I've set the Life Time = 0, Cut Time = 0, Life Number = 20000, and Used Number =...

henry95, Did you ever find anything on this? I'm looking for the same thing.

Sinha,
Just wanted to let you know I just received your new book today. Looks great so far.

sinha_nsit, I thought the samples from your book looked great. I liked the G66 explanation. I haven't ever used it, because I didn't know how. The only thing I can think of to add would be P #'s...

Thanks sinha_nsit. I'll take a look at it over the holiday and give you some feedback.

I would be very interested in reviewing and giving feedback on your book. I have a copy of Smid's, and agree it is targeted toward the older controls. However, it is one of the only macro B...

Where/how do you enter the code? Thanks.

Does anyone know how to enable Macro's on a Haas? It seems there is a code that must be entered...

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I still haven't been able to get this to work in Mastercam, but it's not a big deal. I can just hand edit the code - if we forget to, the worst that will happen...

Thanks Mike.
I've tried:
if ntools < 1 [#pbld, $, *t$, sm06, e$] else [pbld, $, *t$, sm06, e$]
with no luck. When I do this, it gets rid of the tool-change when doing a single toolpath post,...

In X3, is there a way to not do tool changes when only one tool-path/tool is selected, and then do tool changes when multiple tool-paths are selected?

For the most part, we manually change a...

Thank you juergenwt. Where is this kind of information found? Thanks again!

I have a part that requires 1 M10X1.0 6H thread. We are using a 9.558mm pre-drill and a cold-forming tap. We have a go/no-go gage to check the pitch, but we are interested in measuring the ID of the...
