    Anybody got the cad mouse from 3D Connections?

    You can save the manual entry as a file. Make as many as you need for all the comments, code. Call them up as needed. That's what I do. Saves on typing. Another thing I found. After talking with my dealer, you can save all the wait code info for the mill turns. Just have to have the post set up correctly to put the manual entry code in the right place and where you expect it.

    I'll try it next time I have a shaft to do. Never knew it was there. I know how to do things old school. This may help.

    jlw, Scott, There is, but its not the best/correct way of modeling in solids. Foghorn is correct. Radius/ fillets are the last thing you add to a model. Unless you can extrude them in the design. Modeling is a real art to get good at. Never put yourself in a corner by only doing a part 1 way. Think OUTSIDE the box and leave options to do it differently if something wont work as intended. By doing it as Foghorn suggests, you can rebuild a model easier when changes are made. Machineguy

    If they plug in it should work for the indexers. The indexers have to be brushed. It wont work with the new stuff as far as I know. You can hook them up(the box) to a "M" code for a machine signal. Or run independent. Got a manual? May need to call Haas to see if they can get one. Also write the serial # down for the box and the indexers. Been a long time since I used one. At that time all the rotaries would work off the box. They really work nice on a manual machine.

    Google It. Its not that bad.

    Something is loose, or you have a chip(s) at the stop position. Seen it before on a Mazak. It was repaired, but the service forgot to tighten the bolts.

    At Cabela's I found knives that were made from CPM10-V. $100.00 +

    I'm not a fan of inserted thread mills at that size. They pound to hard. Harvey makes some multi tooth ones. Depends on depth. One pass.

    It's called EXCEL.

    My 2010 VM-3 gives me about 32000 revs in the 4th counter before the control errors. Is that enough?

    Best Buy now has the gamming laptops. You can see them all side by side. These have the best setups for programming. The video cards are at the top of the food chain for laptops.

    My take: Harvey for the small stuff. The long neck end mills are great. I only use there corner round tools. They last and are repeatable tool to tool. SGS, OSG for steel. Ive had the OSG glowing red, and it still cuts great. Garr-- Aluminum only. The end mills for steel don't hold up.

    The post is done for the Haas UMC750. It works well. Ive see it.

    TALK TO YOUR RESELLER ! They can walk you thru the issues. It could be all kinds of things. If you can they can login into your computer and find a problem. Machineguy

    I user the serrated grips for the heavy, large stock. about 50 ipm max. It also helps if you clean the stock and use like a WD-40 on it just enough so its not dry. It helps it slide better

    Tim, I hold .001 tolerance on a bar pull in a HAAS!. And its in the middle of the pgm with a tail stock support added also. And the one Redk shows is the one I use. I also made some smooth jaws for it.
  19. Machineguy
    2 things. 1) get a liner for that stock. You shake the machine and not be able to run at the correct speed. 2) Get a bar puller, and write the commands to control it as a manual entry. Pull it up any time you need it for a bar pull. This is one that mounts in the turrent. USSHOPTOOLS.com

    I find it better to put the curves on a new level. The solid gets in the way at times.
  21. Machineguy
    Running CNC machines in a HOT shop is stupid. You will never hold tolerances. PERIOD. And is hell on the anybody working in that shop.
  22. Machineguy
    I like it. It does take getting used to, but is been stable so far. The best part for me is the enhancements to the lathe tool paths. It took 20 min out of a production pgm alone.
  23. Machineguy
    GLAD I COULD HELP
  24. Machineguy
    According to the Hass Manual it is correct. I get the same thing.
  25. Machineguy
    What ver of MC? How is your tool page set up? What Lathe type of Haas? I'll set up a part to see what I get.
