    sl10 safety window

    How do you remove these, do you have to take the door off to remove the inner panel?

    Depends how big you are.

    I climbed inside a HL1 and closed the door to remove the frame retaining the window but I doubt that I would fit in the SL10.
    An open mind is a virtue...so long as all the common sense has not leaked out.

    If you get a big enough off balanced part in the spindle to release at the right moment, the window will be removed automatically. Maybe Haas needs to provide a canned cycle for this.

    I take it you are talking from experience?

    its pretty tight in there. I have just had another look and even if i could fit in there im not sure its possible to remove the inner panel from inside so it looks like the whole door may have to come off!

    As a witness only. Was not the button pusher. And it was an Okuma, not a Haas. And took the door off the lower rail, not the window out.

    I had a little gang tool lathe about 12 years ago. Ran mostly 5C collet jobs, but it did have a little 6" chuck too.

    I got this job to machine two big 5 or 6 inch round brass balls for the top of hand rails on a Missouri river gambling boat. Made from just round bar stock so lots of material to remove.

    All went well on the first, but on the second one came loose during a cut! Took the back window right out of the machine.

    I was lucky enough to save the window and the part, but sure was loud!

    Good memories
