I have a 770 and installed the external E-Stop, I discovered that the external E-Stop is wired NC - I think it's wired in line with the internal E-Stop. So my guess (though you have a 440) is that...

I had the same problem, and got tired of every project starting with an hour of downtime getting the passive probe to work. I went to a Haimer and never looked back. Now the only time I use the probe...

"This subject inspired me to inspect my Haimer and perform a functional check on it. The tip was slowly cycled across its entire range by hand and I noticed just after the zero center position, the...

I cut out the pan, leaving about a 1/2" all around. Then on the underside I attached a stiff mesh grill, and on the upper side I use a cut to size window screen - not attached. Thie stiff screen...

We all have our own little personal whacky that makes us different. I took a totally different approach.

First: I made strips that fit the TTS holder, every strip has the tool number, then to the...

For me it's probe tips :(

You, and PSW_MESA, are correct. I was oversimplifying the solution and made mistakes. I see now that using a sensor to give variable speed based on cutting radius is much simpler that trying to...

The 770, and I think the 1100, have at least two accessory plugs that are tied to switches in the controller. One is labeled/designed for the computer and the other for coolant. For power off I...

And think of the Z you would be getting back, those TC heads eat up quite a bit of Z.

I CNC-ed a Gruzzly lathe and added the C3 Index Pulse Card, very easy install. The hardest part was figuring...

Actually the cost of Fusion 360 scares me. They could easily do this free software model for a couple of years (long enough to have us let go of our maintenance licenses for our previous tools) and...

I can only wish I had a rotary - that was so quiet I forgot if I turned it on or not :)

Thanks Jesse, this was great. I downloaded Fusion 360 this past weekend and their tutorials really didn't apply to what I do. I learned more about using Fusion 360's CAD functions in your short video...

Happens more than you would like to know. They wrote new code to fix a bug, discovered the new code introduced a new bug, and then decided the new bug was worse than the old bug so they reverted back...

I use a USB extension cable, the male end is plugged into the computer, and the female end sits up near the keyboard. I think the cord itself is 6' long (maybe 2 meters).

Very clever - well done. Now that I've had my educational tidbit of the day I can get back to work :)

Thanks

Very good vides, I can see why Tormach sponsored you. Between you and John (NYC CNC) there's going to be an extensive library of "how to" videos. That is only going to boost Tormach's sales, very...

FWIW I had my wife translate the message. "Drilling with broken swarf in Haas is not supported". Sorry but "swarf" was my word, they are referring to the long spirals that come off of a drilling...

You might want to re-reference after that :)

Thanks, I'll try that tonight. Haven't been doing much right-clicking yet - just got PathPilot up and running this weekend.

I did immediately appreciate the display window and right clicked on...

I have a remote E-Stop button (on a cord) I use when something doesn't sound right while milling and not directly watching what's going on. I know it's not a good habit but I have other things to do...

I installed PathPilot last night and it worked well with my Viewsonic touch screen monitor. This monitor is a little different, it has a USB plug (in addition to the video plug) that returns signal...

Thanks for the help, and I did find and read the white paper. Two answers provided and now a new question.

1) Will it use the same CAM post processor that Mach3 uses? Still unknown, in fact I...

A few PathPilt questions - for those who have ordered:
1) Will it use the same CAM post processor that your current Mach3 is using?
2) Will it come with wizards, particularly the Newfangled wizard?...

My 770 gets a little more than 14.5 on the x-axis, my y-axis is about 0.3 long (never measured the z). I think Brian is correct, they are probably built with a little excess in order to ensure the...

The kernel kHz may also be a function of machine speed (computer machine). What was the CPU speed of the old machine versus the new machine. I CNC converted a lathe and learned more about computer...

I've been doing these with 3 operations; 1) the inside of the part with all of the hole features, including threading if that's required (though I would thred it manually), the trick is to leave...

Thanks for all the ideas, researching humidifiers now, went to the local Ikea and bought some cutting boards to make a new tool tray.

I answered part of question 2. For reference one of the...

So it's been a couple of months since I have done any milling (that day job keeps getting in the way) and as I was working last night I discovered I couldn't get one of my tools into the collet...

They had one at a science fair in DC about a month ago, the control panel was relocated on the right side just below the glass (about waist high). It didn't have all of the controls and I didn't pay...

I have a 770 and took it apart to get it down the stairs (which had a 90 degree turn midway). The 770 broke down into 3 pieces; the table (with control cabinet), the column (z axis), and the head....
