Filament printers- probably better than you think!
3D printing is the way to go Atomic Filament PA6 - CF nylon printed on a Prusa MK3S, $1.50 of material" "didnt think that was FDM printable"- coyoinu

Monarch (10ee?) in So Cal
not mine, saw this on the list of craig, figured someone would salivate over it https://losangeles.craigslist.org/ant/hvo/d/santa-clarita-monarch-lathe/7700144396.html- coyoinu

3D manufacturing journey
the raise3d printer seems like a good platform, but it seems to cause most beginners headaches due to the specialized software, and the typical printer hardware problems. we have a mix of printers at work, and i'm most fond of the Prusa MK3S printers. they're refined and robust, but...- coyoinu

Next Gen Control - how to tell Max Feed?
on classic control, i see the max feed as parameter 8. i suppose on NGC, that means the parameter is readable with #3000(x).008? replace (x) with your axis #? I think the value is listed in mm/s -

A million dollar Haas? The HDC-3-5AX 5-axis Double Column Mill
how'd that mill turn work out for them? -

Power on time is not in hours?
19.1123 is ancient software, it's not suprising if that's a glitch there's a whole bunch more associated with that version of software, like weird peck drilling problems, the door unlocks if the spindle encoder loses connection, etc. -

Servo bar accuracy?
are you using a dead-length collet chuck? if not, that will introduce some length differences, which change based on how long your bar currently is. i'm pretty sure there's a way you can use the turret to push against, so that way you always have a known length. my other guess is maybe... -

CNC Lathe only moves half the required distance
i think G171 / G172 were introduced recently for mill/turn programming, to switch modes on the fly. Setting 285 is a ngc setting, but i think there's a comparable setting for radius / diameter (setting 85?) in Coldfire machines.- coyoinu

Haas DS30 Running with nothing in chuck
iirc, haas doesn't have position sensors on the drawtube. you hit the switch, a timer counts down, and then the bit flips in the software.- coyoinu

newb umc 500 b/c brake question
i did software testing at haas for a number of years, and touched this behavior several times. without being able to see your code in context, it's hard to say what's happening. generally, it helps to specifically command the brake behavior into the desired state you're looking for before... -

newb umc 500 b/c brake question
before the motion in question, command the brakes either on or off, whichever you're needing.
