We have a 2000 and 2001 Haas mini mills
Does anyone know if quick code can be turned on or wasn't it available back then? Any idea how much to turn it on ?

Often in forums of a technical there are members with highly varied knowlrdge of the subject matter. sometimes the OP does not have the knowledge to understand some of the replies because they are...

When entering a tool diameter into geom offset page on Haas VMC for example
the column can be set for radius or diameter. If it is set for diameter does the machine cut diameter value in half when...

Thanks folks.

Are G2 and G3 for doing only 90 degree arcs ?

Thanks. Strange the manual does not mention that important element.

When you use a G76 on a Haas to position the spindle in the proper place before thr Z retract do you need to put an M19 (orient spindle ) in with the G76 somehow ?

Excellent, thank you for your help with this round of questions.

TX, you are right, I am a novice.
Got it on the G44.
Regarding G10, do you use it in lieu of G54. are the values you use with G10
also tell the machine to workshift from machine home...

On Haas we are just using G54. I don't have a need for G44 on Haas right ?

G10: For your first example, is it just another way to enter tool lengths ?

For your second example, is it...

TX,
OK got it on the G9. On the G44 , Do you mean when you are doing a TLO from the machine table and your part Z datum is above the table ?

Also what about a G10. Can you give an example of...

What would a use for G9 be ? Like on a Haas VMC (exact stop)
I understand that it slows the program speed down because it waits for the axis to come to a complete stop. Would it aid in positional...

Thanks tx. That's a good and important point when making a size change of endmills.

Thanks guys.

A cnc trainer I know says the only way (his opinion) is to program to the part drawing. That way you don't have to worry about the endmill size if the one you are using wears out or breaks. All you...

I am learning about programming. Some people program by using the drawing dimensions and then using an offset to allow the end mill to step aside by the amount of the radius. As the tool wears you...

Thanks tx.

txcncman,
You have J in your response twice. Can you clarify .

Geof,
Thanks for your help. I do have the manual it is for a year 2000 mini mill.
It says (for G73) "If I,Jand K are specified, a different operating mode is selected. The first pass will cut in...

Wow, you are right . I don't know where I got the "half " word from.
It's just "cut in" , always incrememntal. Duh.

Okay , so the J. Explain that. Does it peck less with each pass.
Thanks.

On a Haas using G73 the manual says that the Q is
"the cut in half value, always incremental" .
Can someone explain that.
I believe it means that the drill depth is progressively shorter with...

Thanks guys. We have pecked with them too, mostly on deeper holes where chip problems occurred.

Someone recently told me that carbide drills are not meant to be used with peck drilling cycles. True ?

OK here's the next part. My customer sent me the dxf files I needed.
I want to send it out to a vendor for waterjet quote. Because it is drawn on their drawing it has the company name and all that...

OK then I must have misunderstood. DXF is 2D ?

Are IGES and STL 2D ?

I am quoting some plates that will be waterjet cut by a vendor. He asked if he could have a file that he could use to put into his software to be able to see the drawing with out him having to...

The dwell is required because to trip the heads lever that allows the chasers to pop open . The head works similar to a regular tapping head or floating head in that it pulls down on the head. So in...

2001 on the year. Good idea on the non release of trip arm. We'll try that.
Thanks.

Apparently you missed the part where I said "has anyone tried" . Thanks for the reply. I'll wait to see if anyone HAS tried it.
