I asked the local HFO here why they use a cheap level to level the machines and they said it does not matter that much, just traming in a 10" circle is important. So they get them close and then...

You cant get it to tram in a perfect 10" circle by adjusting the leveling feet and twist the casting a little?

Did your HFO take care of your leveling problem? If so, what did they did they do?

Travis- Dont put just plain water in your machine when you need to add a little coolant to your tank. Take the time and put a cup or two of coolant in the water bucket and stir it in good then dump...

Put a new encoder belt on this morning, got the spindle oriented and it ran fine for about 5 hours now it back getting alarm 235. Is it the encoder or something else? anyone else have alarm 235???

Today I keep on getting an alarm 235 spindle Z fault if I put my rpms above 5000 on my mini mill. I have another encoder belt that I am going to put on now but was wondering if anyone has some info...

Glad you got it to work. Just as an FYI look at page 131 in your manual under G50 and G51 "This G-code is optional and requires Rotation and Scaling" which is $1195.00.

G50, unless you bought that option, it another option that cost money.

Haas Apps.
Do all Haas machines have the correct seals for synthetic coolants? I have heard both ways.
Thanks.

My VF2-SS that is also just a couple of months old will sometimes pop up with the same alarm. Usually this only happens when I am loading another program overtop a program with the same...

I got a new VF2-SS in January and I can run programs off the USB. Just put the USB in and run it. I did buy the 16mb option but thats just because I'm lazy and like to leave lots of files in the...

Type the numbers in by hand and use MDI to move your tools around that way you will see what is going on. Maybe you are not hitting your shortcut keys in the correct order so the controller or you...

If you stick in tool#1 then his atc forward its not going to take you to tool#2 it going to take you to the next tool in the tool changer and the tool changer is at random with it tools. Use MDI put...

Get Mobil Vactra #2. Its on sale at Enco and they have a free shipping offer, so it even a better deal.

What options did you get with this machine? it looks pretty loaded.

I think I would take down that picture before one of the Haas factory people see that if that is a new machine. You could get a nice little warranty voided letter sent to you. I think you should...

Geof or Automizer,
Since both of you have mini's and super mini's I was wondering how big of difference do you see on a cycle time between the two machine with the same program? I know there are...

I would say its worth somewhere around $40,000-45,000. With the IMTS show discounts you should be able to buy it new for $62,000.

I agree with you, every company has different policies on how they state the difference between hobby and business. I would just make sure that you do your homework and pick what level of risk your...

Your equipment in your garage will not be covered under a home owners policy anyways if you are using it for profit. You need to have business insurance and the location is your garage shop. This...

yes, just load the usb stick and when you select the file hit the select program file instead of trying to load it on to your machine and hit start. The only thing you cant do it alter the program...

Just for product liabilty alone was about 6k, now its about 1k but can not make any gun parts. It puts you in a high risk class making gun parts.

I use to make parts for the PS90 and AR but stopped about a year ago because the liability insurance was so high it was hard to justify it. Have you found some insurance for a good price?

MFG.com is a scam. Go to the PM forum and you can read on and on about the owner of that company and how bad it is.

On mine its just chips that get stuck on the sides of the cover which causes it to "POP" or sound like a gun shot. I use a 6" steel rule and clean out the chips every day or two and it seems to fix...

I can laugh now, but when that light was on my mini mill I called haas 800 number and talked with their tech department they assured me something was wrong and it have it check out now. So I did and...

Hum, The fan cost about the same as 40 gallons of fuel and it will save you about a short minute per load on your cycle time. I'm still scatching my head!! My fan works great for my application,...

Yes the blades fold down and together when not in use. I would say the blades are about 4.5" long and probably about 6" total tool length from the end off the tool holder to the tip of the blades. ...

Got my fan today and had to replace my broken lock lines after I tuned it on the first time. The chip fan works great and I am very impressed with its performance. Its the 10" model so I just make...

This is kinda funny. I just ordered one today for my Robodrill with a pallet changer. I got the 10" one and a big plus end mill holder for it. It was almost $500 for the two so I will tell you...
