Thank you very much for your help, I will read those other threads. Thanks for the welcome as well. Janie

Hi everyone, I am new to the forums. I need some more information on connecting our Haas Toolmill to our laptop. I have a usb on my laptop and of course the toolmill has the 25 pin connector. I have seen conflicting information about hooking this up. I want to do drip feed and a direct send from laptop to PC. My questions are as follows: 1) Do I need some converter between the laptop and the machine? 2) Does anyone have a diagram of the setup? 3) The cable, do they make it for USB to 25PIN? I think the Mastercam book has info about settings we have to do to the PC and the tool mill but that info would be good too, if you have some insight on that. Thanks a bunch! Janie
