How short can a program be and still qualify as a program?
I had drilled and parted off some short pieces of leaded hexagon which needed tapping 1/2"-20. I didn't want to disturb another setup on the lathe so I figured on tapping them in the mill. Five lines written in MDI and a cycle time of 2 seconds made them the shortest job I have ever done.

Just push the button,what's the worst that could happen.
But you did not stop the programe with M30 nor did you lift things clear to reload.Originally Posted by fuzzyracing1967

Add: G53 G00 Z0. M30

ok ,I'll give you the m30.
But I didn't take into acount the ( some short pieces ) more then one.

You remind me of the people I used to get on the telephone, when I took customer service calls, I often wanted to scream "reading the fffffffing instructions!!!!!!!".ok ,I'll give you the m30.
But I didn't take into acount the ( some short pieces ) more then one.
But I never did, at least until after I had hung up the phone.

theres allways one of us out there,that's how you learn to hone those skills!

Okay, I'll bite Technically a program must contain at least a program number and an m30 on a Haas control. Yes, I know it will do nothing - but will execute. I suppose you could add a g4 to just kill some time.

Okay just to be 'technically correct' (after all I am most often the nit picker

Quick Drilling PGM
1) PGM#
2) S-PGM G-Models
3) Tool Call, Spdl Speed, First Location
4) Height Call G43
5) Drill Cycle
6) S-PGM Incremental Locations
7) S-PGM Tool Retract G-Cancels Y Home
8) M30
Quick Facing PGM
1) PGM#
2) S-PGM G-Models
3) Tool Call Spdle Speed, Start Location
4) Height Call G43
5) Feed Across
6) S-PGM Tool Retract Send Y Home
7) M30
I would safely say 7 Sequence Blocks is the shortest without using MDI.
