Hello, I have a Haas MiniMill 2 , the building next door burned down and power has been cut off.
Once I am allowed to remove my machine from the building I need to lower the head to be able to fit...

I just bought my first personal machine, a Haas Minimill2

I have no experience with Kennametal or Maritool

We have Regofix and currently we order Techniks USA, I dont want the same tool holders...

Hello, If some one can PM me, We have a older 2006 copy of GibbsCAM, we don't have maintenance,
We just got a new Haas MiniMill,
does someone have a Haas Minimill, or similar usable POST.
Thanks...

Found it, Haas likes the belt on a new machine a little too tight, probably accounting for it breaking in.

We just received our second Haas lathe, we have a 1 year old ST-30, and we just received a ST-15.
I know they have different motors and all but the ST-15 is like a jet engine or air turbine,...

nevermind found one

never mind found one that works correctly

We have a new HAAS ST30, we have a Gibbs POST that posts everything great but the X values are reversed (ie X1. = X-1.)
Before I start looking through the machine settings, anyone know off hand if...

I know people are going to cry, and think Im using illegal software but nope.
I need a HAAS ST30 post for GibbsCAM
We bought a copy of GibbsCAM back in 2006, we still use it. but obviously we don't...

yeah i havent looked into it too much now, he has it feeding the entire 15" and then threading 6" in the middle, its slow as hell but there are only 50 parts. In looking real quick maybe a G10 or G50...

We have a new HAAS lathe and need to make a part that has a short 2" feed, a 10" with tailstock, then the final 15" with tailstock .
I dont run the lathes but the lathe programmer is a dumb ass, I...

Thanks for everyone's opinion, In a Mill i have witnessed fretting, this was not only due to the tool being in for a long period, but also the clamping force was just slightly to high from the...

We have a debate by one of the geniuses in the shop. he thinks it is better to leave a part in the chuck/collet, clamped up overnight or through out the week. When not in use.
There are numerous...

We have one of those old guys that hasn't worked in but 1 or 2 shops with DIY employees, and has spent the last 20 years working under a guy with no training, so what ever he said was correct,even if...

How many people align the web on a drill bit with the X axis,and why is this considered correct, if the drill is centered with the spindle?

In gibbs I have a od turn.
the geometry is a straight line in the x plane
I am tring to offset this cut say 3" in the z direction, but because there is no Z geometry(line is in X only) it has no...

Hello all, I have a quick question. On GibbsCAM 2012.
I have been using Gibbs for 6 years but not for a lathe, we have another guy who runs the lathe, and he quit.
I need to find out how you set...

I ahve seen this in the manual quite a bit but dont know what it stands for, BNC, ISNC, any help.
Thx

Hello, All been a while. We have a older copy of GibbsCAM 9.#.# I dont remember, We havent paid maintenance for about 5 years now, When I was hired this place already stopped paying maintenance and...

Thanks for the Info, I got that information straight from Gibbs, Thanks, Still haven't gotten to it yet, to busy, but Ill try it out. CHEERS (clink)

hello all, before we get to it, let me explain.
I have built a new computer system for CAD/CAM at work.
I have upgraded to a 64 bit OS.
We only have a 2010 copy of GibbsCAM, and we dont pay...

OK Im unclear as to what setting your talking about. Gibbs setup page, what page, the operations page for setting up a process? Do you mean the entrance and exit parameters?
Setting the diameter...

I dont know where your talking about Misc. parameter? I dont see it in Gibbs, or are you talking the mill?

Ok so I'm clear as to what I want to. Be able to do is turn on cutter comp in Gibbs and be able to adjust the radius in the machine tool diameter and have it mill correctlym
Do any of these...

OK Ill answer myself
In setting the top of part param as the top of the square cut out, I had to add the cutters width of the blade(or depth of the blade in this case).1875.
Also the depth of the z...

Ok here is the setup, I am using a Milltronics 3 axis VM17.
1-part is 1/8" vacuformed ABS
2-The part has a large pocket 6"L 4" W4"D
3-Walls are tapered about 7-10 degrees.
4-One wall has/needs...

The .625 part must fit into a machines bore, I am hoping to keep the maximum tolerance between the part and the bore to .0005, .0001 at most, Bar stock could only be used if I ordered precision...

Problem is the part will have to be turned down, also it would be easier to get a flat bottom and smoother more accurate bore in either end with a lathe, which means I would need a lathe and a 4 axis...

OK I have some parts I am going to go into business making , but I am trying to find a single machine to do it all but not pay out the wazoo.

The part for description is a .625 Dia*1.25 Length it...

hello, I am a newbie programmer, only been machining for a year now, but have been in computers and programming computers for 15+ years.
