we have a basic bar pull program we call up with a local subroutine (m97)at the end of the program

use the canned cycle that you have and go into haas setting page and number 52 "g83 retract above r plane and put the amount you need in there it will then go that distence above the r value in you programe then when you done put it back its usualy around .250 from the factory ...hth

Mounted plate with a rotating plate on top (dowel holes in center for location) .....yes like that

the whole top fixtue spins you just move your clamps to the back side off the part
