  3. yessssssss....

  4. this is exactly what im talkin about. thanks everyone, great help
  5. no sir we do not have the probing on this machine, and I do not want the Yasnac settings. is the difference between HAAS and Facuc setting in 33 just that the fanuc setting goes back to ZERO in the offsets?
  6. howdy for the past 8 years ive only worked on DAEWOO and DOOSAN machines with FANUC controls of course. I recently took a new job, and they have all HAAS. When I used the FANUC there was G54, G55, G56 etc. Above my G54 setting was a "shift offset 000" where if I wanted to offset my Y +.010 all I had to do was put .010 into the y coordinate instead of adding +.010 into the G54 and changing my TRUE origin. On the HAAS I see there are G54 G55 and so on, but also a G52. do I have to change my actual G54? is there a world coordinate offset that I can make incremental offsets instead?
  7. restarted computer, things worked out
  8. opened a file that ive been working on for a few days with no problems at all, and then....
  9. it was the 'workspace' that got changed. Every toolbar was open and all keyboard shortcuts were turned off, just defaulted it back and all is well. Don't know how or when that was changed, but its new to me, and now I know. Thanks guys
  10. im setting them myself in Customize, I didn't know there were none set. When I press F9, im not getting my origin to toggle on/off , does this need to be setup too?
  11. just had our IT help with an admin install/upgrade to X8 . im setting up some custom colors and my mouse settings, etc. but all the normal key moves like alt+s and alt+a etc. aren't doing their commands, theyre just opening the solids and analyze dropdowns from the top toolbar. never have had this issue with the other versions. Suggestions? thanks in advance
  12. that would work, but no sir, its not a weldment
  13. .010 tolerance on diameter baseball bat sounds like the solution tho, thanks we looked for a angle head bit trying top find one small enough for the length
  14. those 4 holes are 1.160 dia. the 2 center ones are spaced 4.0 inches from each other edge to edge. ive worked on holes and bores that were partially blocked but they were very small diameters and it wasnt 4 that need to be concentric. Does anyone have a tool/setup suggestion or experience with something similar. the 2 outer holes are also partially blocked by the 45 degree wall nexto it also thanks in advance
  15. we use a KENNAMETAL NPT thread mill insert with a KENNAMETAL NPT tapered insert holder. i set to the major diameter and work my wear offset into that, it works great when we start from the top and thread mill helical from top to bottom. Last time we ran this tool, it was on a brass job for about 3000 parts with 3 different NPT outside threads, and we only had to offset it a few times by tenths .000x
  16. our trim-sol was horrible. got the boss to switch to Chemtool Incorporated and have never had a problem again
  17. the carousel had moved some, just had to push it back in and get the sensor and limit switch into positions. thanks for the replies, always appreciated
  18. its not the upright perpendicular tool changer, its the older carousel style changer where the tools are in the same position as the spindle
  19. idk if im asking this in the right forum, but has anyone else experienced this alarm? Just re positioned our machine in the shop this morning, and when we powered it back on, i cant reference the z axis.....
  20. @Thad and @FROZEN thanks for the reminder
  21. its early and i cant think. just received a file from a customer and upon opening it, the popup box said its converting units from standard to metric. what can i do to get back? thanks in advance
