Picked up a used HRT310 the other day to mount on my old '93 VF3. E-Stop, plugged the 4th in and connected the air, enabled 4th axis setting, reset and tried to zero just the A axis and I get alarm...

I am wondering what the purpose of the leadscrew compensation table is. The manual pretty much just says yes the table exists and no you shouldn't touch it.
Is this used for compensating travel or...

Here's a couple oddball questions about using the leadscrew tables:
Do I have to provide a value for every .5" increment, or can it automatically interpolate between them? That's a minimum of...

Thanks! I was worried I was gonna be chasing some switch all day but after hosing it down with a bottle of wd40 I'm back in business!

I've been problem free for a while now, seems I was due for something new...
I lost power the other day while I was in the middle of running a part, I figured it would be back on quick enough so I...

Good call on checking that box! That wasnt actually the problem, but it would have taken me a while to find out that big ol bolt that holds the turret on had gotten knocked loose. Tightened that up...

The ATC Restore powers down the machine and it runs fine; its the sound as the turret rotates that I don't like.
I suppose I should go try t0m6 and then test a few other tools to verify it goes to...

So the machine has been running pretty good for the last month until today...

I powered it up and started my warmup cycle when it stopped running because of low air pressure - I had just cleaned...

Did you manage to finish this conversion? I just saw one of these same machines appear for close to scrap price and happen to have a spare CSMIO IP/A controller laying in the garage and I'm...

Have you gotten any run time on your machines yet? Im wondering if there any tricks to make DNC paths smoother. Im surfacing that RC boat mold and the moves are so short and jerky it sound like the...

looks like I have a few extra buttons. Explains why when I hit rapid 50% it goes to 100%...

Yeah thus far in my (short) career I have already learned that Aerospace is a pretty broad category haha.

Tried the old turn if off turn it back on-or rather unplug and replug-method and now the...

He had 20 years to get it working, I would hope he could figure it out!

I went against my initial plan and got one of those ShopLink DNC USB drives off eBay and had that running in about 90 seconds...then it just took me about 4 hours and a call to Jerry to figure out...

Just out of curiosity is there any other way to pause the program? I didn't think to check if handle jog override works differently than the regular button.

I got my DNC all set up last night and was able to run my first program on the Haas, but not without a few fumbles.
I ended up using a generic 3 axis post processor rather than the Haas one I got...

Its as clean as its going to get, at least until the weather changes and the days are longer so I can start painting.
Reassembly should begin tomorrow!
I want to brighten up the inside of the...

The manual had a 155xxx number listed so I tried that, too low! Luckily someone had written down 2 other numbers, a 142xxx and 147xxx. The 142xx was the number that was too high, so I tried the...

I figured as much. I'm sure I will know as soon as I get that sorted but is the interference b/w the holder and fingers overloading the motor and that is why it is not going all the way to the...

There are a couple parameters for the ATC, I just want to identify the problem before I go changing them.
All my tooling that came with the mill is CT. CT has 2 different size drive dogs, I think...

I had a tool loaded up and went to test the tool changer but as soon as I see Tool Unclip on the controller Alarm 113 Shuttle In Fault pops up- it looks like the ATC did not go all the way to...

Both of the housings are broken off right at that 90-degree elbow, I'll see if there's enough slack to rethread it into the elbow.
Its amazing how fast my garage shrank once the Haas moved in. My...

I guess worst case scenario I just order the other $9 cable...
Once that gets sorted I have a job that I would like to start right away so I might cut my beautification project short and resume that...

Page 185 of my manual says "RS-232 connector is a DB-25 and is wired as a DTE. This means that we send data on the TXD wired and receive data on the RXD wire...Pin 2 at one end is wired to pin 3 at...

No floppy on mine, just the 2 25 pin serials ports.
I was wondering about the 25-25, I think you still need a null modem cable or adaptor in there somewhere.
My last machine ran Mach3/4 off of a...

Thank you! All of the links Ive seen to specific cables are broken so I've been waiting for someone to post one I can actually link to!
Does that adaptor use the null modem configuration? It just...

I you used USB adaptors you could run as many machines as you have ports couldn't you? Just configure each com for 1 machine, no need to buy extra serial cards.
Otherwise I was looking at the...

Now that that machine is up and running I have a couple questions about loading files. I don't want to use one of those USB pendants, I want to use a PC because I plan on doing error compensation...

I'm excited to be able to choose, my drill mates don't even have enclosures!

Thanks for the protip, I reset Y and Z using the formula (Distance to Go - .118) x (Steps/Unit) = Grid Offset found here:...
