Re: Delayed Start on a Haas ( Is this possible ? )
First I would change coolant. We use Blasocut 2000 CF, and mostly run aluminum. Have not noted any staining at all, even parts sitting for days.
I don't know how large of a number Haas will take in a G4 Pxxxx command but it's worth a try.
A programmable digital timer,about $25 from Home Depot, driving a relay. Wire the relay contacts in parallel with the cycle start switch. Program the timer to come on for 1 minute, the programmable minimum, then turn off again. I don't know if the Hass will accept the cycle start button being ''pushed'' for 1 minute. May require a time delay relay to make it a momentary ''push'' of one second or so.
Having said all that, I could see this going south in a hurry if there were a problem. Be very careful.
