  1. Sync spindle with interpolation? (G95 or otherwise)

    Does Haas have any intention on implementing this? It seems like it would be nothing more than a software upgrade. I really really need it right about now, the shop I'm currently at doesn't have any...

    Poll: Esprit vs NX in the year 2020

    Which would you pick and why? I’m at a new shop that uses MC and dear god it’s terrible, and with a brand new 5 axis on the way, it’s time for some real software. I’m an NX guy so they’re leaning...

  4. What process are people using now that corner-cleanup is gone in 2018?

    I kind of expected this to be a real easy thing to do, but I'm not finding anything here that will do what I need.

    The new Spacemouse isn’t a replacement for a mouse - it supplements your conventional mouse. It’s used solely for manipulating the part, typically with your left hand. Once you’ve become accustomed...

    2014 R1 SpaceMouse compatibility?

    Started at a new shop that uses Surfcam 2014 R1 and can't seem to get my SpaceMouse to work with it. The 3DConnexion software sees Surfcam, but I don't get any movement in Surfcam. They also have...
  9. New Haas serial engraving macro location

    Does anyone know where the macro for this is? I can't find it to save my life. These new panels are simply terrible.
  10. Re: Has anyone bought one of the new Kurt DX6 CrossOver vises?

    For those coming across this thread in searches - STAY AWAY FROM THE DX6 VISES. Find a used D675/D688 or just get a V3600 vise because at least you can mount those on their sides. The DX6 is a...
  11. Has anyone tried out these new Kurt DX6 vises?

    The old D675/D688 vises were nice because the back was open and the front was closed so when you blew them off, the chips went straight out the back away from you. The 3600V vises had the front open...

    Editing a canned cycle?

    Is it possible to edit a canned cycle? I'm working on an old 16i-M control and the G83 pecking cycle is horrible. Every peck starts .1" above the previous depth. This is consuming large amounts of...

    Re: What is this symbol?

    Yup that's it. There's one post for the 4th axis that always outputs backwards, I don't know why they don't delete it, looks like someone just reversed the axis on the machine instead of using the...

  15. Re: Setting to change cutter comp from Radius(R) to Diameter(D)?

    I can't remember off the top of my head what they are, I want to say one is a Series 31 Model A, and two others are Series 32 Model A.

    Re: Need thread milling insight

    You should never really expect anything to come out exactly to size - or to stay exactly the same size - so you should be adding cutter-comps to things like this. That's what they're there for.

    Re: Best way to cut angled tube clamp.

    You might find it easier to simply cut some jaws with a 3° angle in them. If you have the software to program that part, it will have the ability to ramp a 3° angle in some jaws.

    We actually found the parameter but for some reason the changes won't take effect. How do I get the changes to stay?

  21. Setting to change cutter comp from Radius(R) to Diameter(D)?

    I'm circle-interpolating a lot of very tight-tolerance holes and it's quite maddening that the cutter comp page is in 'radius'. In 'radius' the minimum diameter adjustment I can get is 2 tenths...

    Form tap, don't cut. Any tapping fluid or even WD-40 will be fine. You only need to worry about using high-sulfur fluids for cutting.
