As I do more research into all the cool and useful things that can be done with macros, I feel more and more like I've been missing something obvious the entire time I've been programming a machine. I've tried to work through the macro section in the Haas manual (2001 VMC) but the lack of practical examples makes my eyes glaze over after just a little while.
Is there a good primer/manual out there for macros specific to Haas? I know there are a handful of books and guides available for Fanuc macros, but didn't know if there was anything worthwhile specific to Haas.
What macros are you guys running that are the most helpful? The only one I'm using right now, if it could even be considered a macro, is for safe tool changes when I have a long tool or tall setup in the machine, which is an aliased M code. I feel like I'm missing out on a ton, and doing a lot of things the wrong way because of my ignorance.
Thanks all!
