  1. I would rough it with carbide and finish with Cermet. Facing to center or even small diameters sucks without the RPM on 1018. Had to do a run off on a lathe with only 2400 RPM and the part required a 32 finish on all features. Turning the OD there was no difference, but facing was noticeably better with Cermet.  

  2. I would set  your rapid to feeds,  for now and show that it works. That way they can fix it.

    Depending on the change in X compared to your change in Y, it could still make unwanted contact..Changing rapids to feed moves right now is the better option.

  3. Also, I highly recommend using the Renishaw probing cycles. The manual can be found on the CD that comes with the probes, or online. You are using the Haas Macros that populate the Renishaw ones. It achieves the same result.  

    However, you are not protecting your probe when initially positioning it. If a clamp or part is not loaded correctly the probe can move into the obstruction and break because it is not using G65P9810 (macro for protected positioning) for its initial moves.

  4. Increase your R-plane. Make it .3 above the top of the hole for troubleshooting purposes. (Haas recommends a minimum of .2)

    Are you using a retract multiplier? Shouldn't matter, but I would change it to 1 to troubleshoot. Setting 130 or add a J1 to your G84 line.
