guess im in the mini van with my mill 1 seat....

http://snapjaws.com/cart/

we use these jaws and they have serated vertions

we have also made our own by using a 1" tap and side milling with it and then rotating the part and milling again ...hth

MPSUBREP.PST we use this all the time make your first part prove it out then adjust the misc intergers for the other work offsets

id try WEAR comp

Looking for a cnc knee mill

sure there good for basic drilling .

they come with a spanner wrench if you want to tighten them up some more

but ive never had a slipping issue with them )

techniks usa has some nice affordable drill chucks for cnc's http://www.techniksusa.com/metal/pdcspu.htm

the door interlocks on newer Haas machines is driven by there CE approval

We program and run our own parts here too, repeat production jobs go to the operator .

mpsubrep .pst use this post it rocks

Kool Rite 2290 last long with no smell issues

What you need to get is the high speed look ahead option on that haas and you should have no problums with the new high feed toolpathes we use them here all the time on our haas machines .

also you dont have to go into recovery mode to get it to slide back go to zero return and hit zero single axis and it will slide back

sounds like you need to flush out the controller

this is a very old controller and every once in a while we do this when we are having issues

turn off in back wait 20 seconds then hit

MANUAL |AUX|1612 START

this will flush out the junk you will have to reset your feed rate after this

vo1 200. (this is the max for xand y)

Vo2 150. (z)

aux1440

End

then run that

this will set you max feed rates again

we have Haas machines here and the only one that uses grease is the tool room mill all the others use Vactra #2

^^^^^ yes the Iscar Heli-alu are great at ripping Aluminum

some times i have better luck..i mean skill using an endmill verses an insert just better geometry on the bottom and we have been using peel milltool pathes to machine down ss with great flatness results ..just a thought

I belive what rizzo said (leave more material on for the finish pass and climb mill)

it could be your ruffing passes burr is bigger then the material you left on for finishing

is there such a thing as good and cheap????

around 10 Haas machines(save your hatin they make us money$$$) here the bigest is a 40x 20 but ..... 4 mill seats and 1 lathe seat of mastercam

i have a post for that controller but it's a two axis post it outputs dwells at z moves is your's 3 axis?? if you have you reseller email me ill get it too them

MPSUBREP.PST .......enough said ..you can find it here on this site

Dave with the mpsubrep pst it DOES each operation for each of the multi parts then moves on to the next op it does NOT do 1 complete part and then another .

i relize this is about using transform to get multiple parts but we use the MPSUBREP pst.

We programe and machine the 1st pc make any adjustments to the master cam file then repost with this pst and you get multi pcs in a subrep easy to edit not alot of code and you get efficent code ...i think not alot of users know of this post but it works great ...hth

thanks for tha 315 tip ....only available on newer controls the older ones dont have it ...thanks again
