Yes we cut stainless all last week on a standard bt 40 VF3, without problem. Three inch sandvik face mill taking .025 depth cuts for clean up, .75 carbide endmills for profiling taking .025 full 1.5...

space then enter,or 0 enter to clear tool pocket and L designation

you can go two ways,setting 119 offset lock will do just that,not let the offset be changed,or setting 142 that will give an alarm if offset changes are more than you want.

Check to see that the plate on the bottom of the pump is tight,the screws may be lose or have come out alltogether. What happen's is when the pump is running the impellor is acting like a...

Here are 2 links,and no you can't change a tool like a collet.

I must be the odd one out, but all I use for taps is split sleeve tap drivers in tapered holders. I have collet holders but I use them more for endmills.

it goes around the outside of the face plate

Just a thought don't know if it would work but maybe. You say it alarms out while trying to home the changer (most likly tool 1), I think there is a setting to call out what # tool to call home, so...

We don't realy have that problem, there used on are hmc so they tend to hang in place. I guess you could recess them but then you would probably want your part recessed a little deeper then the tiny...

Have you looked into the tiny vice ? They have come in very handy for us.

No differant than any other tap , but (there's allways a but ain't there) it will depend on how big npt I would think before it would stall out the spindal on a tm-2. Can tap 1/2 npt in aluminum on...

Not to be a smart ass,but is the e stop pussed in? If so nothing will happen.

Something else you may want to try, since you mention 1000 other parts, would be to make vice jaws that are the length of your part. In your picture you show 2 vices,so you make step jaws as long as...

This same thing happens to are vf-4, but only during long stretches of hot weather,it sits in a cornor of the building and doesn't realy get much air movment around it. So we have got into the habit...

What donkey sugests only works on the newer controls, I don't know when they changed but I know on are 1999 I have to do the 0-f1 route. I have a habbit of clearing the offsets before and after the...

We do 3/4-10 with no gear box in aluminum on ec 500,in anything else can't help other then to say I tried 3/4 pipe tap not thinking and allmost got it to depth by pecking in mild steel.I asked that...

This works very nice for one of are parts. A Plate mounted to the face of indexer ( hrt210) 4 pins protruding out with tapered ends locate and drive the tombstone. Tombstone made with 4 holes in end...

Ok I'll give you one more to chew on for your problem.How about the floor itself? Have any cracks developed in the last few months that posabley now the machine is sitting on more then on slab? I...

Parenthesis work most of the time but not allways, are 20 year old mitsy mo control dosn't like them,so I just put a block delete in that line.If I'm putting info about a part in the program like,...

I have a corn cob cutter like that from valinite that we use on alum and it works great,but just for roughing.The tools have a slight step out as they go down the tool,and make sure the part is very...

Something that has worked good for me is using the tool overload action.When that drill gets down over say 3. it gets hard to get the chips out,even when pecking.If you go to current commands and...

theres allways one of us out there,that's how you learn to hone those skills!

ok ,I'll give you the m30.
But I didn't take into acount the ( some short pieces ) more then one.

ok,i'll bite and say 3 lines of code

John the reason we were told that is becouse if you go look at those older manuel machines you will see that they don't have very good covers over ways and even screws,if any covers at all.So if you...

I don't know of that machine personaly, but just a few months back had the same kind of thing happen, just got done setting it up and boom, blank screen.It turned out there was a little 1 amp fuse...

There is a thread in the haas forum somewhere that says about making a star shaped wiper that helps with the chips,when the chip screw turns it turns.Do a search and look it up,or maybe someone knows...

Most of the parts going through my mills are castings, the trick to getting consistant parts is having your stops where there is no grinding from the foundry.Actualy today I could have used one of...

I don't use a probe so didn't know that turning 119 on would still not help there.However correct me if I'm wrong,after you get your work offsets and tool offsets useing the probe on that first peice...

Short of changing the way you get your offsets by probing ,( I say if your familar with doing something one way keep doing it that way).The only thing I can think of whould be to turn on setting 119,...
