    I've got a 2007 Haas Mini Mill, and the wipers are shot. Called my HFO and they said they couldn't find a PN for the wipers, and the only way to replace the wipers is to order new way covers. That would cost 1300 bucks... which is ridiculous. Pulled the way covers off to check, and the wipers...

You've created a 3mm grove behind the Dorito, you mill around the outside to create the final profile, and the final shape is now attached to your bar stock via a 0.375 arbor. I'm coming back to part this off with a...

    Looking for part-off tool recommendations

    So I've got a large production order, and the parts are being made on a 2001 Mazak Integrex 100-IISY. I've been using 17-4 H900, and the customer lets me use annealed if the HRC is high enough from the mill. The material is 1-5/8" in diameter, and the parts I'm making are much more of a mill...

    Fusion 640 Integrex Polar Coordinate Interpolation Issues

    Hey guys, long-time reader, first-time poster here. I bought a 2001 Mazak Integrex 100-IISY, and I'm now ready to get it running but cannot seem to get around a huge issue with the G12.1 - polar coordinate interpolation command. The machine arrived with a dead battery, and we had to use a...
