Why not thread mill it?

Go to the Haas website and you can put in your machine serial number and it will come up with all spare parts for your machine. It’ll give you a price too. At least you’ll know what part you are...

The TL machines are back to front really. You have to think that the tool is coming from the back as it would on a traditional slant bed cnc lathe. Just use G42 for external and G41 for internal as...

I would just work out from your chip load what you feed needs to be with your slower spindle speed. I always use the same feed per tooth whatever spindle speed I’m able to achieve.

What are they making them out of, solid gold? [emoji44][emoji44][emoji44][emoji44]

Does you machine have the high speed machining option turned on? Does it even have a high speed option being an older machine. Parameter 315 (I think) is the high speed machining option. Check if...

I've never made a thread yet where I haven't had to adjust my offset in the X. Don't sweat it, you've made the parts right which is all that matters.

No probs. I can't see it being on when the spindle is running either, otherwise we would have used substantially more oil in the past 3 years than the 1/2" that we have done. If it was dripping the...

I checked today and ours isn't on constantly, not sure of the delay in how often they oil systems kicks in, but on the diagnostic page it says next cycle, 31 mins. Pressing F3 as you correctly said,...

There's a setting to use to check the lube system. Scroll through the settings page and the oil and grease images will appear on the screen and you can press a button to test them. I think it's F2...

I set all my tool heights from the same position. We have a 50mm high setting gauge that we use, but you can use anything you want. A slip gauge or parallel with a bit of paper for feel. Set your...

We have a VF1 and VF2SS both with 4th axis and we use oneCNC. A lot cheaper than most on the market, but comes with the full 4th axis capabilities.

I don't think there is. There is only one set of settings, for the rapid movement, the feed to point and the retract point. These are the positions used when you use either the foot pedal or the M...

Never appeared on mine.

Stick it up at 300psi and you'll be good to go. There's a dial on the front left hand side saying chuck and tail stock pressures, the adjusting knob for them is at the left hand end in the opening. ...

I reckon you'll be fine. Just make sure you set your G50 to no more than about 500rpm. Then let here rip, those jaws take a good hold if you have the pressure up high enough.

I'm pretty certain that the Haas control doesn't recognise a simple R command within a canned cycle, it needs to be programmed with a G3 or G2 command as you have done on the second program you...

Just edit your post processor to create the program exactly as you want it. We changed ours to look like as if we had written it long hand, that way it's easy to understand, and you know exactly what...

Is there an issue with absolute and incremental programming in your program. G90/G91. The program may run the first time, but if you still have G91 programmed it may not be able to run the program a...

Can you put a manual chuck into the hydraulic chuck?

Hello. I don't post very often but try to answer questions when people ask them and I can help. We have a 2007 SL30 and a 2014 ST30. Oh and a 2005 TL2

We had that on our VF1 and it was the ball screw. It slowly stared to get worse so you could hear it when it was moving at lower rapid speeds. It makes a lovely noise at 25% rapid. [emoji30]

...

A small amount of grease on the pull stud helps. We had the same issue on our VF1 and the Haas service engineer said that they should always have a small amount of grease on the pull stud. I now dab...

Is that the sliding doors or the chuck guard? The sliding doors sensors can be over ridden by the key on the side of the control panel. Just turn it to setting mode and you should be good to go.

Offsets are a little different on the lathes compared to the mills. On the mill it would generally be T1 M06 and then a G43 H1 D1 set up (although the H + D don't have to match) we don't match ours...

I'm glad you made some sense of it. I knew what I was talking about and still wasn't sure whether it made sense or not. Haha.

You might find it best to try the x diameter by using the stock...

Ok first thing to set your tools. If you are using the probe. For z, touch the face of the probe and in the offsets page you can just hit the z face measure button. For the x, it depends on how the...

What file extension is your program saved under? .tap .nc etc.

G28 is to send the axis home and G50 is maximum spindle speed. The start of my programs are all like this

G21
G50 S2500
M31

(T1)
N10 G40 G54 G99 G96 S150 G00 X300. Z400. T0101 M03;
M08

allenp. Yep that's exactly it. Our post is set up to do the tool change then call G54 G90 etc start moving to its position then a line to call the next tool which is just T? on its own without the...
