    Blaser Synergy 735 coolant and impact on waycover plastic wipers

    Not sure where you got this info. I can say DI is no magic bullet in regards to rust, in my experience. The coolant dries so clean, you can be exposed to surface rust when I used D.I. Might be non-typical use in my case as the machine would sit for extended periods. I haven't done any head to...

    5 axis and pallet pool, who competes with Haas?

    Please ask about at least getting the automation option pre-installed. That's the part that makes field install difficult if not impossible.

    Heidenhain TNC Virtual Machine

    Not sure if your question is fully defined, but i'm assuming you want to just run on a PC with VB already installed? Then, the answer is yes. Heidenhain can actually make a digital twin of your machine (not free) where simulated results can be relied upon. Third party verification softwares...

    Heidenhain programming help.

    the best CAM posts can output HH cycles to save time and increase performance instead of point to point. Welcome to 2023, indeed. And i'm not talking drill cycles either.
