we use our presetter only for turning or groving tools like chris said for our drills or tap positions we sweep the turret position and recorded that location this will not effect the setter and for our tool change we send it home first ..g28....
mag chips in the outside fire pit ...then spit streaming water on it and watch peoples faces they swear its gasoline then drink it down they dont know what to think ....
sounds like a lemon to me... weve had only good machines from HAAS, 10 in all, mills and lathes and anything that might have gone wrong we have fixed ourselves there quite simple to work on ...now my buddies shop had nothing but problums with there daewoo lathe so you never know ???
i would also start out with a stub drill go as deep as posible then step up to the next longest drill a taper lenth drill has an overall lenth of 7.75 that should do it the drill your using is kinda long
we cut 316l all the time also we find that high speed milling works best for us ..light deepth of cut at higher feed rates ..tialn coated carbide maybe .015 deep at 50 to 75 ipm
WE TAP 3/4-10 thru 304 stainless steel in our mini mills all day long ...we HAD guys here that would blame the machine for there short comings i would do the same jobs with that same haas with good parts all day long ...sometimes its the man not the machine .. a good machinist can make anything work how about all those years the manual bridgeport was king
NObody really ripped them here but any other time you get negitive responces about haas or fadel we should support made in usa machine tools ..my company could afford a higher end machine but we have all haas machines 10 in all, mills and lathes some with pallet changers and we cut 316 and 304 stainless steel all day and night long with no problums whatsoever ...HAAS ROCK
im no expert but it only does what you tell it if you put xyz on the same line it will rapid xy in a dogleg and be going to the z value all at the same time you have to break up the z move to the next line ...
