Well I am up and making parts with offsets and gang tooling. YAY

Thanks to both of you have tried everything you mentioned and they helped to get things to click in.

Is there a reason that the manuals from haas are so ****ty? I guess that they want you to pay someone to come over and show you the basic stuff, and charge out the ass for it...

Does spindle orientation work on the TL-1 (in demo mode) ? I have to drill a bunch of small holes in the face of my part and it would be nice if I could rig something and do it all in one shot on the lathe rather than a seprate step on the mill..

Thanks again, sometimes I just need a smack in the head to get things going.
