Horizontal Programming


Recommended Posts

Good afternoon folks. I've got an odd situation here. I am programming for our Haas EH-400. I am using 1 work offset for everything. I've programmed quite a few parts on this particular pallet in this manner and never had an issue like this in the past. 

The part (3 identical part arranged vertically)  at hand is mainly machined at B 0 then turns to B90/B270 to spot drill/peck drill 1 hole per part then to contour and chamfer the side profile of each part. Its profiles and chamfers correctly but the hole it drills are -.012 to -.015 off center of where the should be located. Checking dynamic position of the holes in the solid the program is going to the correct numbers. I'm just not understanding how it can contour and chamfer in the correct spot but drill in an incorrect location. Thanks in advance for any help.

I do my rotations through routers but it doesn't have to done this way.

Anyway this is how I do it...
