    Thanks to all, for all the replies.

    cadcam,
    Yes it would be mostly cutting alum., with high speed and light cuts. I'm not sure how to answer your question about "what type of feed are you looking at in the Haas machine"?
    Another question that I would like to have answered is, do Haas mills come with corner accel & deaccell as standard, or is that an option in their HSM machines?

    SRT, the HAAS can use a command G187 E.0003 without having the HSM option. What it does is determines the amount of over/under travel the machine is allowed when going around a corner. Exxxx is the value to keep within.

    hey jimmy
    do you see that .003 growth fluctuate after you warm up the machine or does it grow that .003 and stay there.do you keep the machine running so you you don't lose any temp. thruout the day or nite.

    "what type of feed are you looking at in the Haas machine"?
    I was meaning are you hoping to get up in the 200 to 300 range or higher?

    I have done multisurface up in the 800ipm but not on a Haas.

    They keep the machine running 24 hrs a day monday thru friday and up to 11:00 am saturday morning just to get it to stay kind of close. They can not get good parts at all on the machine.

    Hey guys

    We are now the proud owners of a new Makino S33 verticle mill.

    I finally convinced the bosses to buy one. I can't wait until we get it in.

    Anyone use one of these?

    That's fast. When we get a new machine we always have to wait 2-3 months

    The place we are buying it from has it at there place which is about 15 mile away. That is why we can get it so fast.

    this thread, I wonder how much more information
    is misleading or false?

    Boston Digital is now Bostomatic. Bostomatic and
    Mikron are seperate corps. Both owned by the
    AC Group which is the largest manufacturing solution
    provider in the world.

    I know a guy that owns 1 of them and he hates the
    machine. Like any other product, some people will
    love them and other will dislike them.

    Give us more details on why Yasda is the best.

    Why not?

    >I'm a FANUC guy all the way.
    >Everyone uses them , so with that said "how can that many

    Earlier, the FANUC control was not designed for HSM. In 85' the
    SPCII control from Boston Digital had a HD on the control
    and was designed for HSM. Later the company lead the
    industry into HSM with high end / high performance machining
    centers equiped with ethernet, 2 gig HD and .9ms bpt control.
    All in the early 90'. Not everyone could afford one like a
    standard machine with a fancu control. These machines are
    a dime a dozen and this is why they are popular. If you bought
    a commodity machine, you got a funuc control.

    This is the info we were fed when we bought a Mikron at our
    last shop. If the Mikron boys can't get it straight thats their
    prob.

    Yasda - hands down the best of the best. with a price tag
    to match, but as they say you get what you pay for. Definetly
    the best machines out for high speed and hard machining.
    I had 2 at my last shop.
    If you know hard machining you know why yasda is
    tops. By far the most rigid and accurate @ high and low speeds
    capible of holding .0002 depth, linears or dias. all day long. And
    this comes from hands on experience.

    Earlier, the FANUC control was not designed for HSM. In 85' the
    SPCII control from Boston Digital had a HD on the control
    and was designed for HSM. Later the company lead the

    If you want to prog at the machine go right ahead. I'll continue
    to watch while i'm at the computer. At the machine is not where
    its at, but if thats what you enjoy go right ahead. Conversational
    controls just don't float my boat.

    Pretty harsh accusations would'nt you say, from a first time
    poster.
    Maybe you should contact mikrons west coast sales,
    they obviously talk like their machines run. Sketchy

    Thats all i got to say about that

    You guys love throwing "holding .0002" around. I believe
    this one. On a Big Plus - 7/24 taper spindle?
    If you know hard machining you know why yasda is
    tops
    I perfer not to guess, so please explain.

    Now this would be silly. You can do both ISO and conversational
    on the Heidenhain. Your statement misleads people into thinking
    the Heidenhain control can only be programmed using conversational code.
    When you have an interest into a particular brand, one tends to
    bring comment on the another brand based on 'hear-say' rather then through
    extensive experience.
    I have nothing to sell......

    I also have nothing to sell.
    I'm not the one who boasts of their conversational code, nor
    an inability to do otherwise. I don't need a control w/ all
    kind of bells and whistles, my (cadcam)programming skills is my concern.
    Not hear say I actually choose not to be a part of that control.
    I have seen it in action

    As far as controls go i did'nt care for the heidenhein,
    Thats all I said, nothing more and I stick by it.
    I had my choice and chose the Fanuc 16i.

    You guys love throwing "holding .0002" around. I believe
    this one. On a Big Plus - 7/24 taper spindle?
    Yes it was with a big plus system. And why would'nt you throw
    .0002 tol around not just any machine can do it. I know from
    experience the Mikron can't do it. Ask Jimmy (also a Mod. here)
    he still works there.

    I will not back away from anything said, as I say it from real
    experience. Nor will I be goated into an argument.
    I speak w/ a 20 yr. machining background, I am currently
    starting a consulting business for high speed and hard
    machining and recently became a Mastercam Refferal
    Dealer.
    People are here asking for real answers from individuals
    w/ real time experience.
    We have yet to here of your experience "iceo".
    Excuse me for being so rude, Welcome to the forum

    PEACE

    Hardmill has done nothing but help me with every question that I have asked of him. He has openly shared his knowledge with everyone here. I don't know why people have to come here and try to stir things up. It gets really old.

    Hardmill, just ignore that guy and let’s get back to business. I would like to talk to you tomorrow sometime. Our new Makino will be in the middle of next week and I would like to get your opinion on tooling.

    Please Email me at:

    christellers@eschelon.com

    Thanks

    Is this on a 3 or 5 axis machine? If this is a 5 axis machine, then show me ANY
    5 axis mill that can hold .0002. I don't think you can.

    3 axis is what we're talking about here. Yasda's 5axis would have
    no problem w/ .0005. Your beautiful Mikron could'nt even hold
    .002. Lets face it pal that machines in a different league(little).
    If you got something constructive to say, go right ahead, I
    welcome the challenge. It's just a little funny that you do
    nothing but try (I say try) to get under my skin. You will not
    move this rock.
    Again welcome to our forum. Enjoy your stay.



    iceo

    do you have any mikron machines or ever use one
    Yes Iceo,
    Lets here what you have to say? Rather than trying (i say trying)
    to psycho-anaylize anything I say. Do you have anything to
    say about the Mikron, But we are talking.real time machining
    experience. None of this salesmen jargon trying to convince
    someone to buy your machine.
    We all want to hear of your machining experience, day in day out
    with the machine.

    PEACE
