It's always been when we're running a long program, at rather high spindle speeds.
We really love our Haas machines, and we really want to come up with a solution to keep running long programs in our machine. So please, help me figure out what's wrong.
P.S The spindles have all been changed by Haas themselves, we've never touched the spindle ourselves.
Cheers,
Tim
