Good to hear from you Geof. I hope things are going well on the golf coarse.

I have not posted to the Zone in a long time. This is mostly due to my job change at Haas. Many of you on the Zone know that I was the Applications Manager at Haas for a long time. My current...

I know that many have read this and might not think it is for you. Haas is looking for more than just this management position. Apply anyway.

I have sent an email to the Director of Haas UK. You should hear something soon.

Just wanted to point out that you can jog the Y axis with the pulse handle. To do it select the letter Y from the alpha keyboard and then press Hand Jog.

You are correct. Mike Gasperi's title is the Feild Service Manager at the factory.

I would really recommend speaking with the customer advocate, either the one at the HFO or the factory. It really sounds like you may have already had enough with the HFO so I would say call the...

Luke,
Generally any stone will do. I use a stone that is really supposed to be for knife sharpening.

It is common to stone the table from time to time. I don't think you would need to re-face it.

Mike,
You could call Haas Applications and ask for Micah Babcock or Daniel Scott. They have both worked on the DT-1 for a very long time. They can answer your questions on machine performance....

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner, I have been really busy. 'Not sure is the NL programs will work. Please send 'em anyway and I'll find out.

Right now it is called a DS30Y not sure about...

Yes it does. I need programs to test it. I can create any program that we need but I have been asked for proven programs that run on Fanuc controls.

Thanks for the example. Do you have any very simple programs in the XY and YZ plane with cutter compensation?

As you may know I do work at the Haas factory. I work in Applications and only know what I have seen. You might want to call our service department and ask them.

I am looking for some Y axis programs with cutter compensation for any control. If anyone has some can you please post them here?

No it will not. The top door on the BF would not open as the BF will sit under the motor a little.

egw,
I work for Haas and I have never said anything bad about any of our competitors, including Fadal. In fact I ran Fadal's for years prior to coming to work at Haas.

I know that many people...

Please call us at the factory. I have never seen this before.

I really recommend reading "When the machine stopped: A cautionary tale from industrial america"

I can not give you that information. I hope you understand. If I did, it would be the same as me saying it was okay to change them.

Dan,
I will attempt to answer your questions. Before I do I want to make it clear that I am the Applications manager and do not work in Engineering or Service. That means that I am really just a CNC...
