  1. Hello, we have a Haas ST-30L. We are attempting to broach an internal keyway. We don't have live tooling and M19 is not available. Is there anyway to cut a keyway without M19? Is there a way we can lock the spindle to cut the internal keyway? Thank you, Mike.
  2. Hello to all. I am drilling pipe and shafts in an older Haas VF4 with a Haas HRT210 rotary head. If I am looking from the tail end and program it to drill a hole at 10 O'clock it drills it at 2 O'clock instead. Can anyone tell me why it is doing this and is there something i can do to fix it other than a custom post? Thank you all, MIke.
  3. Hello all. trying to figure out the best way to set up drilling multiple holes in flat plates. 1/4" holes on 3/8" centers on a plate 24" x 18". would window points work if so how do I do that? I tried it but it is no selecting. thanks Mike

  8. Hello, I am working on drilling a shaft in rotation. the end is at x,y 0 and the shaft is drawn towards positive x. the first hole is 1" in and the second hole is 4" in. the first move shows x-1 but the second one is x4. shouldn't the second be -4 or is that decided by the first negative sign? the table should be moving -1 and -4 to give me holes at 1 and 4 on the shaft. see code below. thank you!

  11. If I don't want to use rotation in my program and in my post program it shows "A0" does that mean there is no rotation and can I leave that in there or should that be taken out of the program? thanks
