Do you have a shop crane for removing setups off the mills? Any recommendations on a basic versatile setup on a single machine for flexible job shop type work?
They do! Well, they did. All of them but the VF2. We got USB conversion kits installed - but we have to load the files onto a virtual floppy drive on them, so program capacity is still unfortunately the same unless you drip feed with RS232
Thanks for sharing this video. Nice to see the older techniques still in use today.
My pleasure, thanks for watching!
Thanks for showing us the process!
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for checking it out!
that's pretty cool. I've seen that type of marking on parts and wondered what the process was. now i know! thanks
Yeah it’s neat! Gets loud - you can definitely tell when someone’s running the machine even from a unit away!

hay man, I was wondering if any of the older Haas machines in you're shop run off floppies and if so what was the workaround
