    ST-30/20 BOT toolholder compatibility

    Anyone know if other boring tool blocks will fit the Haas ST-30 BOT turret? I seem to recall reading somewhere that Okuma or Mori blocks may interchange.

    Thx

  5. Re: Haas SL-40 lathe gearbox trouble. Need to pull and repair

    Thanks for all the response.
    For what it's worth, apparently the internals for Haas gearboxes are made by fairies in the Black Forest. Nobody has parts or info as to where to get anything but they...

  8. MC v9.1 trying to figure out projecting toolpath

    I'm using old v9.1 and after 200 years of using it I still can't figure out how to project a toolpath consistently. Even simple engraving is frustrating but I really need to figure out how to project...

  11. Re: MC V9.1 partially locks up after sitting for a while. Win7-64

    Hey, Loops (Big Bang reference)

    Yeah, that's pretty much what I was going to try when I get around to it. I've had to adjust a few settings for V9.1 to work well on Win7 but not bad overall. The...
  12. MC V9.1 partially locks up after sitting for a while. Win7-64
