Thread: Quick Code

Does anyone here use the Hass Quick code? I have looked at it on my machine,,,have not tried it. Looked to me that i can program it faster myself . Any comments or advice?

I have tried it and don't care for it. It has some flaws as well.

only for probing

Just this weekend I looked at it again, just no practice using it. I needed 4 holes center drilled then peck drilled with different work offsets. I opened up the quick code looked at it again then just walked over to the computer and hand wrote the program I needed in 5min. I am sure if I ever learned how to us it would be faster or the same. Just time is $ and would rather put the extra time into learning more about my CAM program.

I've used it a bit - actually never anymore, but years ago I used to use it from time to time.

On the lathe it is actually pretty nice (on a tool room lathe)

On the mill.....mastercam is all I use, but I've used it for quicky fixtures in the past (G13 comes to mind) and it is fine. Just very restrictive for anything beyond simple.
