  1. Perhaps someone can give me a sample of how each works as I’m unsure ? Thx
  2. I figured it out I had to turn rotary to off and then put a zero in for work offset works like a charm now thx all for your help . Ps why do I have to put a zero in for each tool plane offset ? Default is -1
  3. Yes it’s 4th axis enabled as I was able to do engraving etc . It’s a simple part could be any part where u rotate 90 so front back bottom top etc I have mr datum sat centerline of part left side with axis on right side as typical thx
  4. I've been struggling all day with this I'm lost haas 4 axis vf2 I can get the top tool plane no worries and the second but it won't rotate the part 90 deg I've tried all I can do in planes managers I know it's a simple solution can you guys pls help thanks so much .
  5. I figured it out I turned setting 48 on which is A axis mirror on the haas mill and now it’s right
  6. I can buy another hrt210 brush model today a buddy of mine offered it to me for a decent price does anyone need one ?
  7. I'm using the generic 4 axis haas post and machine definition
  8. So a simple engraving of letters on the round part with the 210 on right side of table the verify tool path is right but when I send to machine its backwards if I make the tool path on ccw of table it then is right at the machine . But I think it's rotating the part from the zero I set on the G54 on A axis . Is this a post adjustment? As I notice in the verify function the rotary is on left side of table , with that being the case how can I change it to right side of the table ? I use axis substitute sub Y axis and ccw to make right at machine but the verify is wrong on mcam
  9. Yes thanks I will try that as right now top of stock is set to .75 and I did have keep tool down checked and my material I want to remove I had to do a stock to leave -.05 Is there any other methods I should try thanks so much for the help . That is the exact type of tool I'm looking for thanks so much
  10. I got it figured out So I'm doing a contour toolpath and transforming it etc.. with a lead in and out it works ok but here is what I want to change The lead in and out work fine but I need it to rapid back to start point I'm doing two passes -.025" apart on Y depth it starts at z0 and Y.-.75 The travel is along the X axis . but it feeds back to start point at same as cutting speed when I try to change the feeds on lead in and out I can but they only do that part I need a rapid move back in x . I'm using a seco cutter with carbide inserts that was originally designed as a chamfer tool I set the center of tool on z0 with part rotated on a solid around z.75 so a 1.5" solid bar . I ran the program everything is working I did the 360/31 for the deg of rotation etc... I would just like it to rapid back to start point as I would like to make 3 or more passes before part rotates Ps a custom cutter would be nice but I have done this with this tool long ago and it does work I did it on my old anilam mill . Any suggestions for a custom cutter most splines are a 90 deg total angle . approx .05" deep .
  11. I'm able to draw the part no worries in solids and I'm able to do one groove at z0 starting at z0 and y-.75 I drew 31 splines etc... I did my first tool path by stock to leave on walls of -.05 with multiple depth cuts as material very hard etc... I did this before with a dividing head buy now I have a haas with a 4th axis I'm not sure how to program this so I can rotate the part and recut etc . I'm sure many of you have done this any help appreciated thanks . I can do a drill tool path no worries as easy enough to pick the entities and do an axis substitution and do an unroll with a diameter of 1.5" . Do I have to pick each spline individually or can I do a 3d window ? Thanks for your time . Ps I've searched online for videos if you know of any pls send me a link thanks.
  12. It works awesome I hope my experience I’ve had can help someone in future thx for all the help cheers
  13. It was the adapter cord USB to 9 pin problem solved thx
  14. I think it’s in the null modem cable or USB adapter as what I post isn’t what happens at machine , I sent the nc files to haas they ran with no issues ps I honestly thought there would be more help on this forum
  15. I can see it’s getting a weird numbers yet on post file it isn’t
