Just got a brand new ST30Y with the next gen control. Have two other older HAAS machines and for the life of me I can't seem to find setting 36 on the next gen control. If I try to start a program...

Just got a new Haas ST30Y with the next gen control. The post we have which is for a older ST20Y isn't posting the code the way we want when trying to use the live tooling. Say im trying to contour...

Hi, we have a 1999 Fadal 4020 HT that is having a problem with the high and low gear change. When you go to change gears both roller pistons are staying engaged. Things that have been replaced and...

Wouldn't this be bad for any kind of heavy milling? What was the idea behind having only one key?

My company just got a used year 2000ish Cincinnati Arrow 1000 VMC with the 2100 control. In th process of getting it up and running, and one thing that I cant understand is why there is only one...

So you just spent 10k on a new machine and you have to goto Home Depot and buy some $4 rubber to make a ghetto fix to something that should have been designed right in the first place?

And just...

Why is there no Z axis way cover on the Torus pro? Seems like a major design flaw, either that or there just to cheap to add one?

Pretty much just a standard G0704 cnc conversion. 570oz motors on the X&Y, and a 906oz motor on the Z. C7 ballscrews, and motor mounts from Billy.



No, its a 5" vise. It is kinda big,...

Yeah, all my end mills are 4flute. I have done pretty much all steel parts since I got this machine up and running. Have only really cut some aluminum just to satisfy my curiosity. All I machine...

I used a 1/4 HSS Endmill for the pockets, 10ipm, 800rpm, 0.040 doc per step down.

Tops and bottoms were face milled with a 2" sandvik 390 4 flute cutter, 1500rpm, 15ipm.

Sides were roughed...

Yep, tool steel. :)

Heres a quick vid of my G0704 making some chips after getting my chip tray and flood coolant setup done. Just need to get the rest of the full enclosure built and the machine will be fully done and...

I fixed the problem with the difference in backlash from Y- to Y+ and Y+ to Y-. When I turn off Sherline Half Pulse Mode the backlash is even in the Y, when I turn it back on theres 0.001 more...

Do you happen to know whats the largest size of balls that can be used in the C7 nuts?

Im measuring backlash exactly as you said it. I move Y+ then 0 it, move y- 0.100" and get 0.002 backlash. Then I move y- and 0 it, then move Y+ 0.100 and get 0.003 Backlash. What im trying to fix...

I have a g0704, with C7 ballscrews. X and Z have minimal backlash, and in both directions are the same at 0.001". Y is a different story, it has 0.002" backlash in one direction and 0.003" in the...

Just the outside width would be fine, length fully expanded/compressed too if that's possible. Those lengths you gave I assume are the width? 770 or 1100?

I'm looking at getting some better way covers for my cnc converted machine, and Tormach seems to have great prices on replacement way covers. Is someone can give me the measurements of there 770 or...

Just started putting my G0704 back together in CNC form. Had it all working and layed out on my floor before I started reassembling it. I started with my Y axis and got it all done, hooked it up to...

Its probably like 0.005" of play, and now that you mention it I only put shims on the lower bearing, the updated way of doing it on Hoss' site. The 35x45x4mm ones. That must be it, I wasnt thinking...

I am in the process of installing the AC bearings in my G0704, but I think I have a problem. The old bearings are out, new ones are in ala Hoss's plans. But there is some play in the up/down...

Im either going to be buying a G0704 or a G0720 mill from grizzly. The only reason I would go with the G0704 over the G0720 is the price, im on a budget. The G0720 is $2000 more and that can go a...

I will be buying a G0704 soon, but before I do I have a question about the gearing. Are the High/Low gears plastic or metal? Also what are all the gears in the mill made of?

I don't know man, in my opinion those classes are a waste of money. I guess it depends on how fast you want to get up and running on your CNC. We have a few large old CNC machines at my work and...
