I don't think the machines can be disassembled very far, not even by Haas techs. It may be possible to remove some of the enclosure if you need to gain a few inches. Have you double checked the...

I'm sure the info on the Haas website is correct. I purchased a 2005 TM1 new and it came with a grease packed spindle. Any medium sized compressor from Home Depot will be fine for those. Then a...

You're welcome! At least as a stop-gap, you could set up an old computer near the Haas and use it as the network node, then zap the program on over to the machine via RS232. Otherwise I expect your...

Newer versions of SW can open files created on older vesions without any problems; any version of SW can export all kinds of file formats readable by many other programs. I can't think of any serious...

What about the RS232 port? I've been transfering programs from my computer to a Tm1 like that for years, works great with my Mini Mill too.

www.fehlmann.com makes professional machines in Switzerland. They are very nice.

Don't the movers have insurance to cover any damage that happened during the time the machine was in their care? They sure should have.

I can't imagine Autodesk will stop supporting HSM for Solidworks. They'd have to be nuts to do that. Ok Ok, anything is possible but I'd wait a while before I dumped HSM unless you're really not...

I was told last week the machines loose about 10% per year from the new price. I was also told the smaller Haas mills are just about impossible to find over here in Germany used right now ... and...

Thanks, I just called my reseller and I have 2.5D milling and HSS. Imachining is a separate modull I would need to pay extra to have activated. I'm waiting to hear what that would cost! imachining...

Is imachining included in all versions of Solidcam 2011? I have 2011 and as far as I can tell, imachining isn't included in my version.

There was a dealer on ebay USA who had two kits left, he sold one for around $6500 and then upped the prce on the last one to $7000 and I believe he sold that one too.

I've been wanting a tool...

Get the freeware progam offered by OneCNC, I think it's called NCdirect.

It works like a charm!

Get a Haimer 3D analog probe. You can order them directly from Haimer in Germany. They pay for themselves the first week.

Do NOT buy a cheap copy. They are crap.

I just upgraded to SC 2010 (current version).

I have a lot of older DWG / DXF 2D files I'd like to use as to program from. Does anybody know a good way to get them into SC?

I use SC inside...

5% rapid is your friend! "The Tools you Save may be your Own!"

I received a little tour of SC 2011 at the Intek trade show last week and it looks like SW has added a ramp down feature to the 2011 version! :banana:

I dont quite understand what you're trying to cut there?

After some back and forth with dealers over the bad PP, I contacted SolidCam in Germany directly and they immediately resolved the situation and made sure I receieved a functioning PP.

Thank you...

You're welcome. I'm not 100% sure I understand what you are looking for. If you need a custom post processor file (.MAC .GPP) then you'll either have to buy one or make it yourself. There is no...

Why don't you contact the software vendor? Your company must have a service contract?

What caused the one fuse in my breaker box to go is unknown. Maybe after 6 years it got tired; maybe something in the incoming power? Who knows.

16A fuses are the standard fuse for the lines into...

Kurt has solid models of most of their products to download free from their website!

That was a really helpful tip matt, thank you. It helped me git rid of one error in the first line where the PP was calling a G code not listed in the Haas manual!

I think I will start a new...

Thanks! I did read the Gpptool PDF doc, some of which I actually understood.
I figured out the ; designates a comment line.

I'll try the trace all line you mention and see what happens...

It's that "tweaking" part I don't exactly know...

I do think think there was something happening on the pwer grid not in my shop.

The machine is fused at the box with 3 16amp screw type fuses which are pretty much standard here for 16A 380V...

That sunds like an interesting option, I will check that out.

I just discovered that the post processor I received with SolidCam outputs code which won't work on my Haas mill. So I guess I'll be...

Man you ain't a kiddin'! I had already rounded up an outfit here in Germany who could have rebuilt the Haas power supply but am real glad it wasnt needed.

I alsi have a super rush job for which...
