i dont recall seeing a switch, i assumed it was a parameter.

I found a copy of the parameters book HERE but cant find anything related so far.

Even if i do something completely basic like

O0001 (Simple OD Turn)
G50 S3000;
T0707;
G97 S2000 M03;
G00 G54 X2.1 Z.1 M08;
Z0;
G01 X-.03 F.007;
G00 Z.1;

At work we just got a new Hyundai Kia skt250ms lathe with an 18i tb control on it. All our other lathes are Haas atm so its kinda been a learning curve on a new control, but so far so good.

The...

I work in a shop with about 50 employees. Theres only 2 CNC lathes. The guy that ran them before me quit and went else where, needless to say he was the only one who ever ran them and when he quit he...

I need some help holding a 125 finish thru 3" of 4130 with a tol of .500 +.003/-.001 also need to take into account .0003-.0005 plating per side so i need straightness as well. Also its 300+ parts so...

lately ive been turning a bunch of 4130/4140, i havent worked long on the lathe but my question is how do i get a better finish when turning it. my finish is always a cold finish. granted it test...

Just wondering if you dial in tool or do u dial in the pocket? which is faster? etc etc

do they make a type of follower rest for Haas SL20s?

odd, on the SL20s i run i can puke out parts all day, opt stop, estop off, come back the next morning start it up, let it pop out a part and usually right where i left it the day before maybe a .0001...

yea i use to have the piece of metal in the door but u still have to pry the metal off the sensor to "cycle door" in the morning or shut off 51 not to mention the preload tool change at whatever it...

it doesnt take that long, i know this, but its something i do every morning on the 3 machines i run. Just thought that i could just perm shut it off. One less thing to do in the morning

im sure there is a way to do it, but is there a way, when handle jog mode to have (work pos) show a true x,z position to Z face measure I set?

its there anyways to perm turn off setting 51 door hold override??? gets annoying pullin estop, power on, setting, 51, down arrow, over, enter, yes, current com, power up restart....

we just made sleeves to hold all our boring bars, with a slot in them to run the set screw down to line up the boring bar on the flat

as far as software goes, i dont use software to program our haas lathes. Its faster for me to just hand type it on the control then it is to go draw it. plus u think it thru more

how can i about getting a 125 finish ID of .500 +.004 -.001?? depth is 3inches, mat 4140.

theres no such thing as a crash, thats why there is 5% rapid, single block and an E-stop. Since ur in the lathe forum ALWAYS remember to home the machine before a tool change. Almost learned that the...

i think its like #23 cuz i had to do it on a Mini Mill when it froze from a corrupt file and wouldnt let me delete or mess with any files

ok so just getting into machining and been to at least a dozen shops but have only seen it in one shop on one machine, i know its an easy answer but what is the thing in the red circle....

No I don't have access to a 5 axis at school or work. The gun would be cool but I can already hear my teacher now. "great idea but how the hell would I explain that one to the board?". Although I saw...

well for example last year one of the guys made a complete skid for his snowmobile. So im looking more for and idea, not a flat out blueprint or mastercam file or something.

as far as the some of...

lol although cool i doubt a College would think the same

ok, im looking for ideas. Im currently attending school for machining and our last semiester (coming up) we have to build an Advance project of our own design. The only rules are it has to be...
