Any Haas(SL30, etc sized) lathe owners out there interested in going in with me on some custom tool blocks? I've got a quote from globalcnc for a block with 3 1" holes that are spaced 1.750 apart....

Here's some videos showing us tackling the latest of the problems.

I've seen them advertised in one of the thousands of catalogs but for the life of me I can't find them now that I really need one. The one I remember had something like a 1"OD, 3/4" ID, and the ID...

So we continue to have turret issues and since we've received ZERO support from the manufacturer or the vendor/salesman(Alex Madsen at NxNW Machine Tool Works), we've had to start trying to fix this...

An update. Firstly, don't give this company a single one of your hard-earned pennies. This machine has had a perpetual servo amp alarm that has yet to be diagnosed, let alone fixed. When pressed...

It was never a matter of "cheap".

Hello all. To anyone who is still interested or is considering a Cubic Machinery purchase. I would have to honestly recommend against it. Here's a brief rundown of events regarding the purchase of...

Getting closer to being able to offer feedback. It's been two months since the machine landed on our floor. We'll be running full production starting next week.

I'm still working on getting this machine up and running to our satisfaction. I'll write a novel about it when it's all said and done. In the meantime, anyone considering buying one pm me for...

I've got a new cubic twin spindle lathe with fedek bar feeder. The control is an EZMotion-NC E60/E68. I'm trying to find a way to have the whole machine shut down after a certain number of parts...

Given that the OP is looking for a prototyping machine, and this is his first lathe purchase I think Haas is an even better choice. Their in-house financing can't be beat for start-ups with little...

Care to quantify?

Cool story bro. I have several haas lathes with haas bar feeders and have never had a problem with them. Yes, the bar feeder relies on the lathe for instructions. I call that a benefit. The bar...

I'd say get the Haas barfeeder, the interface with the machine is so reliable and trouble free it's almost to easy.

Yes, it's a twin spindle. We've been fighting with various problems getting it up and running. Mainly with the Fedek barfeeder though. The lathe itself has little niggling problems here and there...

I just took delivery of a cubic STS-27. I'm having it wired tomorrow and installed sometime next week. Initial impressions are good though I've obviously not even turned it on yet. Build quality...

I had the exact same issue. Had Haas send me two replacements under warranty. They aren't o-rings though, they are more like this: ...

I've got two SL-10 one big bore, one standard. The thing I like about the 10 over the 20 is that with the 10 I get 12 tool positions. With the 20 you only get 8.

I've got two SL-10 lathes. One is standard, the other has a big bore. The problem with both of them is that the chip trap is nearly useless. Way to many chips make it through and into the sump. I...

does your recommendation come from personal experience or google search?

I'm looking for a west coast titanium supplier, specifically Grade 5(6al4v) 2.0" round stock. I need ~10 feet.

I'm thinking of getting one for second OP work on my SL-10BB. My only concern is that the drawtube has to much throw, since most of the work will be using Royal expanding ID collets. Anyone have...

I have a newish SL-10. It's been treating me very well, thank you. One issue I've had is fighting with the thermal comp. I turned off the automatic settings, that helped a lot. Now I'm using the...

Well here I am nearly a year later! The SL-10 and the bar-feeder are both working fine. My local Haas tech schooled my on the thermal expansion parameters, no more unpredictable growth. I changed...

My brand new SL-10 had a similar problem. At a tool change a massive air leak could be heard from near the headstock. It turned out to be a faulty air regulator, the one that your supply air is...

yeah, just got a brand new SL-10 with the bar feeder. Does anyone else have one that leaks half of its paltry coolant supply all over the floor? I think it's coming from somewhere near the...

correct!

I've been using Orbitools for a few years now and while expensive, they work in cross-drilled holes better than I would have EVER believed possible. Getting all the parameters in your machine is the...

I've a new product being released soon and need it to be laser engraved. Best case scenario of course is buying my own laser. For the time being though, I need someone to do the work for me. I've...
