JOHN love you alot and grateful that you created this video for unpriviledged students like me who cannot afford heavy tuitions fees in an expensive cities. Thank you a lot. May GOD BLESS YOU.
Great video! I just started teaching a high school engineering class. On day way, I walked into our workshop and noticed one of these proudly sitting in the middle of the room.
Thanks for putting this together. I am approaching these machines for the first time and I needed a quick run through. Your video was an excellent place to start and I really appreciate it. I will have to watch it again and try to absorb more of the content. Thank you!
Good video. I would add when running a new program to always use 5% rapid in conjunction with Single Block and position screen on Distance To Go. Also on both my Haas machines I use setting 163 to disable the .100" jog rate. Way too easy to crash the Haimer or anything else at that high rate of jogging.
Your videos are amazing and inspiring. Thank you for your tutorials!! Could you please make a more detailed video about setting up and operating the machine. I have been dreaming about becoming a cnc programmer and operator since my graduation in 2016 but i havent found someone to teach me yet. I have a swansoft simulator and will be able to practice if you show me all the steps.You are already making a difference in lots of people life. Thank you soo much!!
The warm up cycle is meant also for accuracy... Spindles lengthten as they warmup, by as much as several thousandths of an inch. I own a tormach, and at work I program and run several haas machines.
thanks john for sharing your experience. i dont have a haas (yet ;-) but always good to soak up new information. your channel and dragonfly engineering are my favorite for machining/ inj molding :)
I just got a promotion at a custom fab shop, from a brain dead painter to this machine. I have ZERO experience in this field, so I may download this video for a reference.
Nice video. I do not like those membrane rubber buttons, working on a circuit board directly though, because they are prone to failing, like in TV-remote-controls or GPS-recievers and such. The first bad experience in this matter, in my case, was the Sinclair Spectrum from 1982. I had to replace the keyboard with an after-market product, way better mechanically, but quite badly desiged in the logic or print.
Great video! When you're just starting out there are so many buttons and so many screens on the controller. I still don't think its very intuitive. In your warm up program you might want to throw in a couple lines of code to moves that cold table around slowly. Full ~ x travel , then full ~y then full x and then y and then maybe a "X" pattern. Spread out that lube before you go into all those rapids on you first program of the day. On shutdown we move our table all the way back and try to move the 4th axis over the center of the machine. No need to let that weight hang off the end of the table while you take the night off. :) What coolant do you use and how do you do to keep it looking so great?
Thanks for another well done video. I use and love my Tormach 1100 S3 but would like some more capability with spindle speeds. Have been looking at Tool Room Haas machines. Does your Haas have screen where you can see the progress of the machining of your part in 3D, like in PathPilot? (I am guessing you know what I mean)
It does not have a 3D view like PathPilot. Before the Haas, I used Mach 3, which I believe had a 3D preview. But I really didn't pay much attention to it, so I don't miss that.
Great if you can afford em. Kinda like Mastercam/Solidworks and beyond the reach of us mere mortals!👍 BUT not to worry, don't ya just love a good work around!😍
That depends. I was looking at getting a new Tormach. At the time, a similarly equipped 770 was about $18K, and I bought this machine for $22K. This is a lot more machine than the Tormach. There are lots of hobby people buying Tormachs. So this is for those people.
I have recently had your videos suggested by UA-cam as I often look at machining and CNC videos as I am a home shop machinist who uses Mach3. I have a general question that has come to me as a result of watching the watch case videos. You clearly use USA customary units for a lot of your work but used SI units for some work on the watch case and at one point apologised for mixing units in the video. So, my question is what do you do regarding tool tables for tools and motions that are in millimetres? Do you set the machine to a metric mode or convert dimensions to inches? Do you tell Fusion360 what the dimensions and tool sizes are and let it convert to inches? Or is it some other mish mash of work arounds? I tend to always work in mm as I am not in the USA so anything that is in inches I will convert to a millimetre value.
It's fine, isn't it? My machine is set up for inches. Fusion 360 is really good at handling mixed units. I have the CAM post processor set to output using inches. So even if I have the model set to mm, it will still output in inches. Most, but not all, of my tools are in inches. But some of them are metric. For the metric tools, I use mm in the various dimensions. And for tools that are in inches, I use inches for the various dimensions. Hope that makes sense.
Never load a tool prior to power up restart. As part of power up restart, a tool from position 1 will be loaded. If you have a tool In the spindle already, you will crash the tool already in the spindle ant tool 1.
Thanks for sharing this! I have a question about the noise level of the OM-2. I am currently running a FADEC UMC-10 which has a 3 HP spindle that goes to 6500 RPM and it gets noisy over 3000 RPM. Since i am in my garage i have to make some allowances in how much noise i am making :-) With the OM-2, is noise an issue? Can't imagine a 30k RPM spindle is very quiet!
That's what I used for about 10 years, and I made a lot of molds with my Taig. I have earlier videos that feature the Taig. It was definitely a good value for the money.
How can I contact you? I have a small part in SW I would like to send you for get some pricing for. I also have a few questions I'd like to ask you about producing the mold and parts.
Sorry for the delay getting back to you--I was on vacation and chilling. On the about page of my UA-cam channel, there is a button that will show my email address.
JOHN love you alot and grateful that you created this video for unpriviledged students like me who cannot afford heavy tuitions fees in an expensive cities.

Single block & option stop are your best friends when proving out a new program! Thx for the awesome video!!!

I do the exact thing!
Damn i like this guy for two reasons, hass and hiemer

Another excellent video John, thank you for making this one!
My bro, i like how you and i use a similar hand position on the controls while using a Hass! Also, nice Hiemer

This is very intresting job
Thanks John I really appreciate the haas stuff….. the new controls are a little different but most of it carries over the same
thanks john for sharing your experience. i dont have a haas (yet ;-) but always good to soak up new information. your channel and dragonfly engineering are my favorite for machining/ inj molding :)
You made this video just for me lol, thank you very much for doing it👍

warmup cycle is for thermal expansion stabilization as I understand it so your parts are consistent.
I printed out the HAAS Operating manual to help me too

@@JohnSL Any hope you want to sell the Taig Mill?
I sold it several years ago: ua-cam.com/video/fQcVGdmscxk/v-deo.html

Haas vf6 parameter 57 - common switch 1 error. Can you help me fixes that errors?

Do you factor the power cost of the 20 min warmup cycle into your quoted jobs?
yay
How do you turn off the beeps on key presses?
hello, do you have the drawing for the handle for the vise? or the demission's for it, it seems like a good project for my TA in the shop.

It doesn't get much louder at the higher speeds. A lot of the noise seems to come from various cooling fans more so than the spindle.
Im here for the comments about him pushing the should be disabled button
There have post for operate the machene because I have 3 years of experience
I'd love one of those but it's slightly out of budget, 😆. What is your opinion of a Taig 2019 cnc mini mill? Thank you.
That's what I used for about 10 years, and I made a lot of molds with my Taig. I have earlier videos that feature the Taig. It was definitely a good value for the money.
YOU KEEP A HAIMER IN THE CAROUSEL?!?
Sir can u please teach me haas 4 axis work offset tool offset
Evening John I would like to learn cnc programming can you help me ❤
how much the price that
haas milling machine sir
Hi, which tool holder does that machine use? ISO-25?
ISO-20. But with a Haas-specific profile.
@@JohnSL nice, I ordered an ATC spindle with ISO-25 ... I'm just sick of the drawbar on my DIY machine.
How can I contact you? I have a small part in SW I would like to send you for get some pricing for. I also have a few questions I'd like to ask you about producing the mold and parts.
Sorry for the delay getting back to you--I was on vacation and chilling. On the about page of my UA-cam channel, there is a button that will show my email address.
Which Haas machine do you have ?
