I used to be on this board quite a bit when I had my Haas TM1. Great board. I did put this job up on MFQ.com but this is ideal small job for the home guy with a brideport.

I am looking for 4...

Love OneCNC. Still learning as I go but it kicks it out of the park. Getting ready to try my hand with the 4th. The taller walls would be nice. As for tool breakage normally they just fall...

John, I have a 05' TM-1 and I edited the spindle speed up to 6000RPM and the rapids up to 400, both like the TM-1P. Works outstanding. Love the 400IPM rapids with tool changes. Much faster. ...

3d printers ok for protos and one off. If you are talking injection molding, you want more than one part and at a low cost per unit.

You can also machine one offs out of plastic too with a CNC...

I have powder coating done about once a week for our production steel products. Price wise thats on par, actually in our area that is good most coaters have a $125-150 min. Ask how they prep the...

First off, good for you to put the effort into learning how to use the very valuable machine tools your school has for you to use. I doubt you have a software issue. The Haas software is very...

Agreed! Its quicker to go day dream about my future VF3YT.

Thank you, that makes since. As I indicated before, this will be the first time I have programmed and set up a 4th axis. I have been an operator on them before, just never set one up.

Earlier...

Good point. I bet the long steel bar tombstone fixture in your photos is heavy. Yes I was thinking locating pins off the platen. Thank you for sharing your experience, the angular position is...

I disagree with the concern of taking food off someones plate. I have lived this on.

My business started (2000) in my garage why I still had a corporate job. It was a hobby with no intention...

Murph, I like it. Thinking something like this and use my tail stock on a 12" 4x4 tombstone.

With the ability to draw back the tail stock, I wonder if there is enough repeatability to change...

Just get a standard clamping kit like this:

I will knock out a key for it. Did they normally come with one?

Once I pick up a 3 jaw I will do this. For now I need to set up a tombstone. The photos from your set ups help quite a bit. I...

Thank you for the posts and photos. Very helpful.

Had time tonight to un box the new (to me) 4th and tail stock. Here is what I have to work with. The Tail stock came with the locating...

Just pulled my vices off my Haas TM-1, they have been on for about 5 months. I noticed some rust shadows on the mill table. Also I have a few CAT40 tool holders that are showing a few spots of...

Outstanding! Great post. CNCZONE needs a "buy beer" button we can use to say thank you. Several of your posts Geof have really helped me!

I bought my 2005 TM-1 used and don't know if it has any spare machine functions. It did have the 4th drive, tapping, tool changer so they ordered it a bit loaded. I would like to set up a few...

I have been thinking something like that but with this for the alarm so it sends the text.

Outstanding. Haas just needs to add the ability to have the machine send a text w/o requiring it to alarm out. This way mid program it can send a pre programmed message or one that has been added...

I have wondered about using a M-code to trigger text message. This way the mill can tell me its done or about done. Kind of the same original thread request for a beep, just one that reaches out...

OK so a blank chuck then drill it. Did you add a locating center on the back? Or just dial it in when you install it?

Thanks for the tip on Bison. I will keep an eye out for another.

Just purchased a used 07' HRT160 that came with the tail stock and a black face plate. No chuck.

What kind of 3 jaw chuck will fit on here? All the Haas docs just talk about their chuck. ...

I bought it last Summer, then two weeks later I demoed OneCNC. I returned the Alibre CAM module for a full refund with the 30 day policy Alibre has. I love Alibre for CAD but the CAM is lacking. ...
