Here is the updated link to the bonus content: www.haascnc.com/video/Video-Bonus-Content.html Thanks for watching!

I really love the usability & interface of the Haas.

such a great teacher Mark

Keep up the good work Mark,excellent video and instructions. Cheers from Australia. Thanks

Very good, and helpful to someone new to the Hass machine /controller.

At GE we used a square tool probe that was attached to the back of the enclosure not on the bed to prevent chips & coolant from it. Some of the tool probes had enclosures that opened & closed to prevent any chips, coolant or damage to the tool probe. Also, all of the tools lengths & diameters were inputted into the part program by the engineers to prevent any operator error if the operator had to input all those values themselves. And, all of the tools should be put in the tool changer in the order that they are used.

Thank you mark once again your videos are very informative excellent !!

Mark Thank you for the instructional video.

Thanks. Really helpful

Thanks Mark

Thanks mark

Since it is a big topic how about a video dedicated to cutter compensation? I would love to hear the knowledge and tips you have on that topic!

Muchas gracias, por poner los subtítulos en español, ya que no entiendo mucho el inglés, espero que puedan hacer más vídeos como este, Gracias 🇲🇽

Good afternoon! Thank you for your “Tip of the Day”, I learned a lot of new things, several questions arose on this video, when measuring the end mill, your mill moves by the radius, this does not happen on my machine, the end mill is measured in the center, how to make it move? when measuring the "Shell Mill", the cutter is shifted along the "Y" axis, but it is necessary that it is shifted along the "X", how will this be achieved?

It's a very useful video and it's very useful for my work. I use Shaas Cnc VF-2 VF-5 EC400 in Japan. I would also like you to make a detailed description of VF-to-Toolbreakprobing VPS.

Great video Mark. What would also be very helpful is to learn how to set a tool length offset the old fashioned way in the next gen control. Sometimes you might not be able to get the probe somewhere and just want to lower the tool and tough off on paper or something.Thanks again

So good

Would love to see a video on cutter compensation.

Thank you so much for your video! The link for your bonus content for "programming wonks" like me doesn't appear to be working. Can you update it? Thanks!

@Haas Automation, Inc. Can this system be set up on older Haas mills like a VF-OE? I've just bought one and would love be able to automate tool set ups and work offsets.

good video

Hey Mark, your videos are the reason why I convinced my boss to order a Haas as our very first CNC mill, despite the fact, that we are living in a country, which is heavily occupied by Siemens and Heidenhain (Germany). The VM6 was just delivered and I'm already doing all kind of funny things with a hacked Autodesk post (using it as a lathe, screw driver, etc.). When hand jogging, I would love to have tool length compensation being added to my current Z under the Positions tab or somewhere on the NGC's display. Any idea how to do this?

Hi Mark, I have noticed that the tool offsets table has only for digits after the dot, but it will read and correct at least up to 5 digits, is there a way to display the 5th digit on a HAAS next generation control? Thanks for your videos, I find them extremely useful.

I am working on my CNC Nims and for our mill it has the older HAAS controller and we have to hit prog convrs 3 times and it takes us to the probing page and we have a subprogram set up. I wish our HAAS machines had the next gen controls they are alot easier than the older ones.

How would you probe a fly cutter? Do a similar process to the shell mill?

Спасибо (:

can you please do a video on part zero, on Z axis using 123 block and horz indicator

cool

I love the videos!! Question... on our vf3 when probing tools on center( spot drill, drill, ball em) spindle rotates cw instead of ccw. How is this changed? It seemed to have changed on its own.....

Hello there, I have a question, m59 p1133 G04 P1.0 M59 P1134 aktivate other M codes(M51-55, M61-65) why? We have a air Tools on m51,m52 / m61,m62 bounded and every use from the Probe Tools activat it but we no found more information. Haas Mini Mill

I want to see automatic offset tool length offset can you have?

How would you set a left handed fluted end mill for legth and diameter. The regular setting for this will rotate the mill in the wrong direction and will end up cutting into the stylus on our tool setter.

Hello friend, what is the parameter number to disable the function that puts zero together with the letter example X inserting the command creates X0 only I would just like to insert the X.

One thing that does not compute: say I want to use a tool with two different wear compensations to mill two different features. Say the tool is T4 and I want to use G41 D4 for one feature and G41 D45 for another. When I do the later, as explained in this video, D45 references two columns on row 45, the Diameter Geometry and Diameter Wear. Why both? I'm working with T4, so I want the D45 wear to be applied to T4's probed Geometry Diameter value.

When I input the approximate diameter of my tool on my next gen controller I get a message saying "setting 142 offset exceeds allowance press y/no to continue" The numbers I’m inputting are in the range allowed. What am I doing wrong?

Oh wow! No one watched this video to the end or they would have told you Mark you never touched off that shell mill tool. Could you make a video or correct this one that actually shows the tool being touched off?

@haasautomation hello. i have lathe ST15 with live tool, axis Y and NGC system. I changed flute values in tools offsets from zero to two. Now when I use the milling tool(live tool), it is not correct in the Y axis. And problem is i cant change back the values in flute to zero. please help me.

@ Hass Automation, Your Video is very useful. In my Shop floor I have 8 Hass Milling Machines of few variants, including 2 UMC machines, 1 Hass VF9, I have one small Specific question, I want to Use Right Angular Head on my VF9, I am struggling to define its L1, L2 values on the controller, can a support or guide me ?

How do you probe tool 11 when there are only 10 pockets in the tool changer?

how can I back up all tools & work offset data to usb drive?

Hi, is it possible to describe tools?

9:26 yeah your method mesuring manually give tool height 16 inch when probe give 4 inch. haha. but now have probed measure you can find out all data to manually get same tool height.

Hello, Can you please explain how you would set a miniature end mill with the probe? I am trying to measure a .003 Thou flat end mill but I feel like the machine is feeding the tool to the probe too fast and causing the end mill to break. I know it is a very tiny tool but was hoping you guys can help with this! Thank you!

I'm currently working on the Haas Vf 2 SS (exactly like this), could you tell me how is this machine software called, I've worked on the previous Vf 2 SS and I would like to search things for this new model, thank you in advance guys, best machines I've worked on!

A question. I am new in cnc so want to know tool wear under offset. +1 in z means a hole for exemple will be 1mm short. What about radius? will a pocket be 1mm smaler if i set -0.5mm on radius?? So i can see exactly how much i need to change to be in the tolerance. thanks

You make a video set up for 5 axis milling machine Thank you!

Hello , i would like to use the option to measure all the tools in once but when i try this the machine gives "fix errors listed in mdi to continue" also in the tabel it says tool not found while i have a full list of that are in the machine.. any ideas? we us a VF2SS.

+Haas Automation, Inc. Mark, what does it take to be a Haas Aplications Engineer like you? Great vids!!

Can you please tell me how to enter tool length2 from program I mean to say code for tool length2

Mark, my sharp aluminium plates would chip if i'm using the toolprobe.... Also diamont tools are a no go. What about your plates ?

Then you have built the aluminum mars mill, it will be done ✅ (9.866m/s)*(1/3)

What is the smaller diameter endmill anyone has touched on this setter?

I am old timer who never had to use nor did I learn cnc lathe as i did moldmaking and toolmaking. Of course I used and use manual lathes but I note on the cnc lathes there is no information about setting tool heights--as in ZERO. Where can I learn about tool heights for haas cnc lathe?? I did note trying to search it out that on a cnc lathe you dont just put any tool in you want like a manual lathe and the tooling and holders have to made FOR THE EXACT LATHE..am I getting close?.. I did stumble across some blog strings that mention shims under the toolholder and that if they are missing the height can be way off (too high).. Tool height is very important on lathes--I do not understand the tooling or why tool height cannot be set--and not one youtube or other video mentions a word about it-- where can I start? I am semi retired and work as I can and first thing is they want cnc lathe experience am at a new job with haas lathe but just as an operator-they dont train and they also are not knowledgable about tool heights or complex setup of the machine. One tool was squeeling which they couldnt solve and I told them the tool is way too high. I drew a picture but had no idea how to check or fix it nor did they PLEASE HELP. Why is tool height never mentioned on a cnc lathe is it a secret? thanks

Why am I getting "Y over travel range" when probing tools?

HELP!!! How do you "Probe" a tool on a Right Angle Head? 🥵🥶🤧🤮🤕 All the other information in this video was AMAZING! but is really need to find out how to probe or even manually set my tool height and diameter using the right angle head. Please!!

how dose it not chew up the probe pad if the tool is rotating

Why can't I jog while in offset mode anymore?? Very time consuming to switch back and forth between handle jog and work offset page!!!

una pregunta?? despues de medir una o varias herramienta me dara el diametro real de la herramienta si mi herramienta tiene mayor o menor diametro ese diametro que dio lo tengo que usar en mi programa CAM o la maquinas haas automaticamemte compensa la diferencia de diametros ???

If you don't have a automated tool probe here is a way to do it manually kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d9-Ue8mk18yRfn0.html

you forgot to mention the A0. ALERT and how to bypass A0. when tool offsetting.

That was 150% Easier on the previous gen control....select gauge length, cutter dia. Press 3 to select mdi, press 3 ...pushed to mdi, cycle start......watch it average cutter dia. And gauge length

Hello sir

Dumb question: Why you can leave approximate length blank for drills?

0:06 Forehead so bright I can see my future in it

Why cant you name a tool? There is no name category? Wouldn't it be helpful to have a column for the name of a tool? You know like 5/16-18 tap so you don't have a paper chart?

Having worked in the aerospace prototype world for a decade and the luxury of working with Mori Seiki mills that entire time. It pains me so much to see offsets so regularly done this way. Every tool should be set via the distance to the table in negative values (z-). work offsets should be (z+) positive. No one should ever need to care what distance the tool is from some stupid arbitrary point from the spindle.

Doing tool touch offs while away from the machine is a dangerous practice in my opinion.

Always remember to repent of your sins (sin is transgression of YAHUAH’S LAW: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, & Deuteronomy) And Have Belief On YAHUSHA HAMASHYACH. HE Died and Rose three days later so that you can be forgiven of your sins! HE Loves you! Come to HIM!🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

Am I missing something here, why would you build a machine that can calculate the tool diameter, yet not apply it...makes no sense to me. SO, you have to take the calculated diameter, and enter it into your CAM software...stupid. Your lathes will take the tool offset you enter and use it, why wouldn't your mills do the same??

Mark, this does not work. MDI will tell you that you “Tool 2 is missing a Length and Diameter greater than zero”. I just tried. It should work the way you say it does. Video below explains.m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mL-Pd659yq3dfqc.html

I had to laugh at your last name. Sorry.
