Thanks again Rob, you are most helpful! All the best to you sir. Joe

Thanks Rob. There was nothing like that in the email I received from an F360 so called "marketing manager", who sent me the initial info. I'll check out your link. Thanks again! Joe

I have not been able to find that - less than $100K Free offer. Do you have a link to it you'd care to share? I like "free" things, but have no problem paying for a quality item.

As far as I can tell, there are no more free versions for businesses grossing under $100,000.

Much appreciate the info fella's. F360 doesn't have the free gizmo's as far as I can tell, but I'll buy it anyhow for my business. I'll check out the NC Viewer also. Joe

Does anyone know if Fusion 360 contains an editing program/plotter(?) that allows verifying hand written code? New to CAD/Cam, and I want to purchase F360.
I would like to be able to run my already...

Pretty loud. I'm considering building some sort of soundproofing foam box around my 60 gal. I suppose the 80 gallon couldn't be a whole lot louder.

I have a Quincy 60 gal. Great compressor, but I wish I'd got an 80 gal. If your VF-2 spits out air constantly thru the bearings when running, I'd recommend at least the 80 gallon. I have a Omniturn...

Thanks for the info Geof. It sounds like you use your gen all the time for shop power. Is this correct?

A diesel gen would be great, but then I'd have to store diesel. A gas gen would be better...

Has anyone here ever used a single phase 240 volt generator for backup CNC machine power?

If so, can you recommend a brand, or a style of gen that has CNC quality clean power?

I have seen some...

Somehow setting #29 got switched to "on", instead of "off". This controls wether or not the incremental mode is continuous. I recall looking at this setting, but don't recall changing it to "on",...

Alarm #302 - INVALID R IN G02 OR G03 - R must be greater than or equal to half the distance from start to end with an accuracy of 0.0010 inches (0.010 mm.). Check your geometry.

Thanks for all the suggestions fellows. I'm still real green on the TL-1, but learning! Only crashed it once. I wish the dead man switch had a longer cord; it would actually be useful then.

Does anyone have any experience with this "Kipware" software? Opinions?

Sounds interesting. Hope to hear from some users, as I haven't seen any...

Thanks for your replies fellows. The original owner rebuilt the chuck guard, so I guess he removed the sensor, but there is no indication of where it was mounted.

It must be turned off at one of...

Can anyone tell me what this proximity switch/sensor is supposed to be for? It is hanging out the back of the headstock of my second hand 2006 TL-1 lathe. I can not detect where or what it was...

Thanks for the help gentlemen. How does one access the 200 additional offsets? I looked thru the entire Haas manual online per WallyL7's link, and could not find how to access them.

My TL-1 is a...

Sure wish some genius would write a "Haas for Dummies" book. I'd be first in line to buy one.

I have a gang tool set up I built for my Dorian toolpost, using Omniturn tool holders. For the life of...

Does anyone know if it is possible to tweak the control to increase the top end speed above 1800 rpm for smaller work with 5C collets? Thanks. Joe

Silly questions perhaps? A friend and I were discussing ways to machine a "piano hinge" made from carbon fibre , and we wondered if an EDM wire machine could be used to cut it. Anyone know if this is...

Does anyone here own, or use a Fryer CNC lathe? I only recently discovered their line of tools via a link on another website, and would appreciate any info or experiences on their lathes. I'm...

Thanks very much for your replies gentlemen. The Milltronics ML series lathes seem like a better setup than a Haas TL-1. I like the solid v -ways as opposed to linear ways. I've read a number of...

Does anyone here own, or have experience with a MILLTRONICS ML-15/40, Partner CNC Lathe? I am fairly new to CNC, and I am looking to purchase a CNC/ Manual type lathe for semi - production work,...

Jack screws are exactly what would probably solve the problem. If the belt goes back to it's old way's again, I intend to try the jack screws idea to "tune" it.

Loosening the belt tension didn't...

A Selway serviceman and I spent over six 6 hours messing with my TM-1 yesterday, trying to get the belt to stay in or near the middle. A real pain! Wether or not the belt stays middleish remains to...

I have a new TM-1 with the same problem. I'm wearing earmuffs at 750 rpm drilling 15/64" holes in mild steel. It actually is less annoying at higher speeds. Selway is coming out Tuesday for a...

I initially purchased the chip and coolent guard with my TM1, but sent it back before ever making a cut. I found it to be so high and deep, as to be very awkward to place things in a vise, or take a...

I'm also looking for a new compressor and dryer for my soon to be delivered TM-1 mill, and for a bead blasting cabinet, and I have been considering this companies products.

Anybody familiar with...

Thanks very much steveg for the excellent explanation! Joe
