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 ???

solidworks 2008

so do we and thats what this weiler co does also ...i was just wondering ???

scott a little highjack but are you part of the weiler company in moorestown nj ?????if so we build conveyors for you guys just wondering???

what no haas ???

RAMP .RAMP.RAMP...we like ramp

a dwell in the hole while in contact with the material will cause work harding

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

prism eng in pa is the best!!! even without phil(the man)

Awsome site how many of you other guys are using some form of vacuume holding ???We have done some on plastics with limited success .....

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

i had a smartcam class in school and it had a macro feature that the teacher could see all your key strokes and how you did the part

haas only dog legs in rapid whats the problum with that ??we never had any here ???

keyless here for many years

Kirk EMMONS is that you??? my long lost brother ??????j/k ..welcome to the family and the forum

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

hold down with double face tape ... but i doubt if that will stop the warping

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 ...

get well

sw and mcam here also

solid works best bet

id use a dovetail mill and simple contour the dia of chamfer.. id compensate in z for any flat that might be at the dia of the mill

do most of you do this ???run 2 open mastercams with no computer power loss

how about getting a demo version work with it then show him what its all about ????
