Thanks Mike, we did find it ..setting 133 on the newer machines. The older Minimill has it in paramerters were you said it was.

I was on the right page and there is no line for REPEAT RIGID TAP. I checked all our machines and only one of them had that, the 2001 MiniMill. Must on older machines? Our newest is a 2015 VF2.

If you are referring to 57: 7 Exact stop mode chg, It is set to 1
Thanks Andy

Thanks Matt, I am talking about tapping an existing hole twice. We have tapped many thousands of holes as well in the mills and it has never been an issue, although we rarely tap the same hole twice....

Our shop does a lot of thread tapping in delrin round stock, including double lead and quad lead Acme threads. The conversation we have been having is concerning tapping twice and the Haas machines...

Thanks Yadn, that is what I was thinking as well. Having no experience with a lathe with live tooling I wasn't sure if there would be any other reason to have it.

We currently have an ST10 and are thinking about upgrading to an ST20Y with the 24 station half index BMT 65 turrett. We now run many parts on a 5 axis setup as a secondary op after having done the...

Offset button displays both tool offsets and work offsets. Press that button till you see the work offsets.
Arrow down until you have your work offset number highlighted. Find the corner of your...

On our older MM (2012) its Current Comands then page up. Maybe something is different with the new machines.

We had (have) six Chick 6in and 4in double vices...The 6in vices failed because of the steele lead screw thru the anodized aluminum base nut. We now use Kurt.

Check setting #8 program memory lock is set to off

Ran fine for me when using radius instead of diameter in offsets. Check setting 40 to see what that machine is set for diameter or radius.

We have a TR110 5axis trunnion in a 2015 VF2YT. So far we have had the cables cook three different times. The first time, the B axis cable arced on the table. We lost the amplifier and the power...

On our Kurt HD6 double vices, we can lock the back moving jaw to a plate that is bolted to the back of the vice body. I made these special back plates out of aluminum and anodized them. if you look...

When we bought our ST10, we were told that the base castings were different and the tailstock was not field installable. Maybe yours is setup for a tailstock.

The base casting are different. So it is not an option to be added on later.

Two year old thread I know, but Teacherjons reply was a reminder to me to post the resolution to the problem we were having back then. Geof was correct, we needed to have the software reloaded. That...

That fixed it.

After running some tests we found that the serial ports on the machine were bad. Ordered a replacement today, will install it tomorrow and see if that helps.

We have two older machines, 1994 VF2 and a 2001 MINIMILL, that we use an RS232 cable to transfer programs. We use Visual Basic Terminal on the PC for this. Recently the programs sent to the MINIMILL...

You do need to callout G43 H & D tool# to activate the tool offsets. In the case of using G12 and G13 , G41 G42 cutter comp is not required. But you do need to have the D tool # called out and the...

Thanks Geof,
I'm thinking that may be the problem and the solution. I am assuming that reloading the software is something I will have to call the HFO to do.

Thanks Haastec,
Did that. decided to delete the O9997 VQC LATHE program. But first I looked on the USB stick that came with the lathe to make sure that the program was on that and it is not. Or...

We have a program integrity error alarm 250 and 214. I have dealt with this in the past with our mills, the corrupt program has always had a symbol next to so it is easy to find. I dump...

Lets say surface A is 1.00in higher than surface B. Set your tool offset to surface A.

It was a very light coat and yes it went down flat. My biggest issue was, being three plates they wanted to move around as I tightened them down. I would get one indicated in then the next one wanted...

I used a light coat of grease, next time I will use some Duralac.

I made a jig plate for our VF5 that will cover the entire table. Once I put this on it will be there for a while. I made it with a one inch cast aluminum jig plate in three sections, hard anodized...

We have A MINI MILL 2. I moved the tool probe to the left side without having to change the receiver location (upper right side). We have a side mount tool changer but I dont think that would make a...
