    Re: The weakest machining program in the world

    I strongly agree! I checked it out 20, yes 20 years ago and whether the interface changed it was still archaic in it’s capabilities even today!

    Re: Allen Bradley Ultra3000 and MPL servo

    Yes it does. I've checked the voltage to the encoder and it's correct. I need to get my scope out and check the output next.

    Re: Concrete VMC

    Nice build. Only comment would be on the enclosure. You might consider lowering the side windows some to accommodate a longer part that might need the clearance. This would allow you to machine a...

    Re: Back with Surfcam

    I've used Edgecam for years and got a chance recently to try Surfcam. What's the difference? They both seem the same to me now.

    Re: Mastercam X9 4th axis problem

    I see what your talking about and no I didn't. I must admit that I did it very quickly without noticing that. I just saw that it appeared to be similar but see under closer review it isn't.

    Re: Options code time

    Thanks guys. If it is machine on time, then I'll just turn it off, since I don't use ridgid tapping that much. I usually thread mill, but I had a job where I need to form tap 80 holes.

    When you turn on an option are the 200 hours your allotted actual run time hours or control on hours?

    Re: Pcool bracket position on a 2006 Haas TM1

    About $700 with the pcool, bracket, and wiring cable. It just plugs into the io board in the main panel, very easy. Turn on the pcool code in the control and your good to go.

    Re: 2006 Haas TL1 cross slide to spindle centerline

    I'm not looking for +/-.001, I'm wondering if the older TL1 were 4.5" instead of the 5.5" on the current ones. Sounds like they did something to the cross slide to gain another inch.

    Well that's my thought too. With pointing somewhat away from the front of the machine I believe it won't splash coolant as much on me.
