I could be wrong but in my mind I'm thinking the .50 PF designates Press Fit. There is already a taper per foot callout (.75), hence the reason for such a tight tolerance at the small end of the...
I have no experience with Tornos but we have an A32 and I can honestly say Citizen is hands-down one of the best machine tool manufacturers on Earth IMO. Their service is unparalleled and the build...
I know this is an old post, but to potentially help others who search in the future I will give my two cents...The insert you're using has too big of a radius. If you're running parts that require...
Have offline and online capability to program basically anything you need outside of 5 axis.
Thankfully invested before all this crap hit the fan.
Secret clearance is at the discretion of...
What are you talking about? The Genswiss system can center the tool within TENTHS RELIABLY. You say it's not accurate enough, yet go on giving advice of blueing the end of the bar and scribe a line?...
I'll bet it's pricey, but well worth the money if you constantly deal with small tooling...

You should take your own advice. I've done high speed machining on a FANUC lathe myself, never had a problem with memory and nothing a GOTO/WHILE and DO macro command didn't solve which ain't all...
So, let me get this straight...you can purchase a $150k plus machine, but you can't afford a memory upgrade? Besides, you're comparing a lathe to a mill. Look up the specs on a comparable model lathe...
Look into the Sandvik QS system. You can easily get repeatability of +/-.001 or better.
I MUST warn, if you really need that kind of repeatability, you must have the right insert as there are...
Not entirely understanding your question. If you want to back off the bottom in Z just command it to do so in the sub program?

I'd suggest contacting your tooling rep and maybe even Citizen themselves. I've never run plastics in a Swiss before, but I have on conventional lathes and there we had coolant clogging issues and...
The Macro Variables are properly calculated via the Control screen. Unless I'm losing it (which is entirely possible), I triple checked it and it reads 22.5.
This machine didn't even have the...
It's not exact, as I'm not at work, but code looks something like this:

Hello all,
I'm looping a program with Macro to machine a bunch of OD splines on a HAAS SL-40 using the C-Axis using "While/DO/END". I'm using "H" incremental rotations.
Problem: Macro...
What machine are you trying to program for?
Working on a problem child "legacy" part. Issue: Need to add deburring alongside milled edges.
It is two 1/2" wide flats milled into the part od 180 degrees apart from each other (like flats for a...
The way I do this is go in man set, longitude, minus a large value (If I know the previous tool was sticking out far) hit input and then hold cycle start until the sub stops moving,then I just move...
You should really look further into the tool makers recommendations. I don't run any Mitsubishi drills, I mostly run Guhring and they recommend pilot drilling a hair over the deep hole drill size....
G96-Constant Surface Speed
There shouldn't be any "mixed review" machining generally uses G96, or G97 which you would use for a tool (usually a drill, threader or a tap) in which case you're...
Hi folks :wave:, it's been a few years since I've posted. The issue I have is a have a prototype part I'm taking on that has me scratching my head.
The basic part features, without getting into too...
Bit of a "noob" to be honest and my shop is far too cheap to buy anything that involves solids, but just looking at it, it appears you may have been in the wrong plane and mistakenly selected the...
I'm still waiting for global warming. I live in Central New York. When I moved here almost 10 years ago almost to this day all it did here was rain rain rain...humid...rain...hot and humid...rain,...
Have you checked your Tool Data/Data2 page? That has gotten me more than a few times. I don't know if you're using software or not, but providing the part is simple enough I suggest writting the...

Would changing the "approach" work that way with an axial thread?
I was basically trying to program the machine to slow down the actual rapid/traverse in one tool cycle (threading only). The program I'm using is in fact a basic G76 (only in this case turning an...
Thank you all for the replies, I will look in the programming manual and see if there is a way to call up Setting 10 and release it after a tool cycle. Every model machine has its own little quirks...
Title pretty much says it.
Is there a programmable rapid override on Haas'?
I would like to implement this on certain cycles on our machines and would like to know if there is a command to lock...
