I'm currently running a 1994 Hyundai HiT 8S and thinking of replacing it with a new Haas ST-10. My garage is my shop and has limited space and power (running a from a phase converter) so machines...
Thanks Wade. I have another lead that is closer to where I am located, but if that doesn't work out I may take you up on the offer. Much appreciated.

Is there anyone on this forum that has a Rabbit USA Laser cutter or another laser cutter with LaserCut 5.3 software near Madison Wisconsin that would be willing to provide a reference or possibly...
Does anyone here have any experience working with Boss Laser? I contacted them several weeks ago requesting a customer reference local to my area (Madison, WI). They have been very spotty in...
As a professional using using Alibre as my primary CAD tool I hate the new name. I never felt bad about advertising that I used Alibre Design. The name sounded professional. I would never...
Magnitude Engineering's tool storage rack will store 16 preset tools mounted in their holders for use with your mill. This rack has four integrally designed hanging tabs specially designed to mount...
Alibre is a very good choice for value CAD with an excellent set of features and a user interface similar enough to other higher end packages that a transition to those in the future if needed would...
Does anyone know if a good postprocessor exists for Sprutcam 7 for a basic 2-axis lathe with a Siemens controller? I have a Hyundai HiT 8S with a Siemens Sinumerik 840C controller and have not been...
I found that if I enter information using the table view of the tool table editor, my settings "stick" better than if I change then using the more graphical view. It seemed like SprutCAM always...
This has to be the biggest area needing improvement for me. Some sections of SprutCAM 7 make it nearly impossible to work efficiently with Imperial units. It seems like no matter what settings I...
Thanks to those that are helping investigate the problem. I have not been able to determine the root cause of the problem yet. I am going to try to contact Sprut tech support and see if they can...
Attached is a zipped version of the .stc file I am having trouble with. I suspect some type of resolution or accuracy setting may be the cause, but I can't find one to change that appears to have...
I have been trying to create a tool path for a lathe part for a couple of weeks now and no matter what approach I take, I cannot get Sprutcam to generate a tool path that doesn’t remove excess...
I have a turned part that I am trying to program for a lathe in Sprutcam. The part includes a convex curve that is a small segment of a arc with a relatively larger radius such that the curve almost...
The machine I mentioned above is no longer available as the current owner decided not to sell it. I did find another Hyundai HiT 8S that I purchased instead.
You should be able to override the spindle warmup message on Haas mills by changing the following two parameters:
Parameter 258 cold spindle temp - change to a very low number
Parameter 259 cold...
For anyone out there looking for some more tool storage for their Haas mill, I had a few tool holding racks fabricated for my shop and have a few left over to sell. They hold 16 cat 40 tool holders...
I have been presented with the potential opportunity to buy a 2007 Hyundai Kia SKT-15 turning center with ~1700 hours (not sure if cutting, spindle, or power on yet) for $30k. This is a 2-axis 6000...
Tommy,
Does your current post-processor utilize the M07 mist coolant command? Does you machine have that feature. You could re-purpose the M7 code to output M50 like I showed for M8 in that case...
Tommy,
The following change should do what you need:
Change:
if cld[1] = 71 then Mc = 8 else Mc = 9 ! On/Off coolant
To:
if cld[1] = 71 then Mc = 50 else Mc = 9 ! On/Off coolant
Does anyone know why Haas isn't using a mimimum amount of non-volatile flash memory instead of a battery to hold parameters, settings, etc?
The first thing I would think about would be if it is better to simply sell the one you have and buy a different one where you are going. Shipping a 20' ISO container overseas (and back?) is not...
Now they just need to figure out a way to fix the tens or hundreds of broken links in these forums that resulted from the new website.
16 position standard cat 40 tool storage rack tray for Haas CNC mills. Storage rack tray is laser cut and precision formed from .080" thick aluminum and has four hanging tabs (13" wide) to mount...

I have noticed collision warnings many times that don't seem to show any collision in simulation; not sure what is real and what isn't. It seems like this would be a very important bug to...
I needed more easily accessible storage for Cat 40 tool holders so I designed this rack that holds 16 tools and fits on the front side of the slots present on the rear chip guards located to the left...
I use Sprutcam and am fairly satisfied. It does have its quirks, but for the money it has a LOT of functionality.
The Magnitude Engineering Cat 40 tool storage rack for Haas or benchtop applications is available for sale again.
They can be purchased through eBay or directly from Magnitude Engineering at the...
