OK ... Lets hear it. What is wrong, what would you like to see improved, or what you would like to see on a Haas?

better service
and stop tecs from telling me i am the only one who has ever had a problem with a haas machine. "never seen that before" they say
any more and it would sound like a rant

Haas Features/Options

Seems a bit unnecessary to type my post over again.

And what are you going to do about it call Gene yourself?

I would like to see a mid auto manual type button where I can jog the tool away and check it with the push of the cycle start the machine goes back to where I manually jogged away from.


Better chip return and less chips in my coolant tank I have a new 55 gallon tank and I think I get more chips than coolant some days.

Quiter Z axis way covers!

Full C Axis option on TL-15's and TL-25's sub spindles what good is the sub and live tool if I don't have a full C axis on the sub.

Hey Timan yeah.I wonder if the new Haases have that option.Fadal has had that since at least 1994.Hit Feed hold then jog away to anywhere.Then hit Cycle start and it asks you if you want to return too the spot where you left off from the program.Its nice too have.

Thank you Pit202, I remembered seeing that but could not find it again.

I know tht but you have to go thru some steps I would like for my operator's to hit one button. I myself have no problem with that but when you hire button pushers sometimes it is easier!

I have come to the conclusion that I dont like the jog set up. The membrane buttons. I like the rotary switches, Fadal sytle. I can have my head in the machine and feel the switches without looking at them. Even with a remote jog, you have to look at the button before you push it.

I'll toss this idea out, even though I admit it is a little bit off the wall

RE: jogging in Z for tool setting: For me, this is a continuous repetitive list of motions: push .1 (jog increment), jog down near, push .01 jog closer, push .001 jog even closer, push .0001 to get the final touchoff.

So what my suggestion (for discussion) would be this: for each reversal of the feed handwheel, the jog increment automatically drops down one 'notch'.

So you might begin at .1 increment, rotating the handwheel to bring the tool down, pause and reverse the handwheel by some amount, then continue downwards again, but now the jog increment has auto stepped down to .01, and so on.

At any time, this can be overridden by pressing the jog interval of your choice. Whenever the jog increment has auto stepped all the way to .0001, then it stays there until you push an increment button to change it.

I don't know the details of how it would be done, but that is what I think I'd like. It might be handy in X and Y, too, but perhaps a button option would be necessary to enable this or disable it on the spur of the moment, nothing as arduous as setting a parameter to make it behave this way (or not).

BTW, make this software change backwards compatible for machines back to 1995

Gene Haas has problems of his own.

one think could be done in toolrooms , jogging axis with pre-setted speed , there are some works that I made without programming eg facing or is a way that I don`t know ?
