Easy way to mark holders?
Hey all, Other than laser marking, is there a relatively easy way to put labels on my tool holders so I know which tool# they are? Waterproof labels? Will that throw off the tool balance and wreck my spindle? anything like that? How do you all do it? -

OSG AT-2 Thread Mills?
Hey all, Maybe I'm just out of the loop, but I've never seen such a tool before. No pilot hole, and drills/threads at the same time. My dealer is bringing some for me to try. Anyone had any experience with these? Time savers? snake oil? any trick to getting it to work right? I know Harvey...- cc22288

RS232 to USB option?? USB/Floppy emulator not an option...
Hey all.. I have a VF2 that I added a floppy emulator to. It lost power, so im locked out of enabling the floppy option. Haas is saying they dont offer the floppy option any more and my only option is to upgrade the motherboard to accept USB. They quoted me $13,000. Does anyone know of any... -

Haas spindle nose dimensions...
This is what i was trying to make. I ended up downloading the CAD as was suggested here. The CAD model has the spindle in the wrong orientation, probably so that I cant do precisely what im doing. but its cool. 2 dowel pins in the hole let you get the spindle tool change orientation way easier... -

4th axis setup question...
Great points. No the faceplate on the indexer is dead nuts. Usually the boss on the end of the fixture is really close as well when clamped. I believe you're correct.- cc22288

4th axis setup question...
Hey all, We run Haas rotaries on the right hand side of our tables with A-frame supports on the left side as needed. My process has always been getting the rotary straight and square, then bolting the fixture to the face plate of the rotary, then using shims on the A frame to get the A frame...- cc22288

Using auxiliary M codes to trigger an external relay....
Awesome. So that terminal CAN bridge 110 power through it safely and reliably then? No relay needed? Thanks so much BTW -

Using auxiliary M codes to trigger an external relay....
Hey all, Apologies if this exposes my lack of electrical knowledge. I know that you can use auxiliary M codes (M21-26) to trigger external devices. I would like to use one to trigger a solenoid valve and supply air from a second source. The solenoid I have uses 120V AC power. I BELIEVE that... -

Z height during tool change
Hi all, I am looking to adjust the distance that the spindle travels in the +Z direction as it releases and re-clamps the drawbar. To clarify, what I mean is this. The tool change usually follows this order: Spindle goes home (Z0) Pocket comes down Arm comes down arm engages both tools/drawbar...
