    Haas email marketing funnies!!!

    I bought it new in 2017. I'll have to check hours. We don't run it full time. Plumbed for CTS, but no high pressure pump. The hi-torque package they sold had 21 tools, dual contact, auto-grease, and plumbed for CTS.

    Haas email marketing funnies!!!

    I'll be posting pic's and an ad for an S700 in a few days. 10K hi-torque with a Brother 4th. Nothing wrong with it (of course, it's a Brother) I'm just getting old.

    4x6 ups label printer needed

    I've been using a Dymo for years. They are pretty handy IMO. They are not cheap if bought new. Maybe there is a source for used?

    OT- Favorite pistols to shoot

    I used to shoot wheelguns regularly. We had several competitors from Down Under at the International Revolver Championship here in the US years ago. I haven't been involved for quite a while though. S&W revo's with a little tuning are really sweet. I agree with those sharing the love for CZ's...

    Very late to the CNC party.

    I (me personally) would be very cautious about Haas machines of that age. If they were not correctly decommissioned, there could be problems. Even if they were, there could be problems. You might end up ok with them - my Haas machines of that age were fairly solid. They did quit supported some...

    Free CNC resources

    I'll have to look, but I think I already ordered the handbook. :) If not, I'll get on it. I'm old enough to retire, but still enjoy learning. I have to admit it can take a bit longer than it used to..... Wishing you the best!

    selective moderation/hypocrisy?

    I know. I find it interesting how maybe a guy will say "take it easy" and he responds with "Eff you" etc, etc. Shouldn't be accepted. There are evidently some forms of double standard. I've been a moderator on forums before, and that language/behavior doesn't contribute in any way. I don't know...

    selective moderation/hypocrisy?

    People don't even have to use a bad term regarding anything Chinese to set you off. Anything close to negative, and off you go. You attack others, curse them, even when they didn't attack you. Can you be objective?

    Speedio vs. Decked out Syil vs. ???

    It does make a difference which mill you have, even if only a 3 axis. I started with a 3 axis knee mill, and did ok. Demand grew, had to grow, got a Haas (used), then a couple of new Haas because I couldn't find a decent used at a decent price. Then another Haas, then RoboDrill. When Haas...

    MSC no longer selling broken packs of inserts?

    latheinserts.com Curtis is a member here. He might have what you want or need. He is a very good guy and offers some tech support. I've shopped with him a few times and always been happy. I don't know his user name here. It's been a year or maybe more since I ordered from him. Prices are good.

    Titan is peddling Syil?

    That's beautiful. I'm close to F35. I'm also closing in on 70, and it'd be a major deal to move there. Family, friends, and social life are all here. Even with the age and difficulty, we've talked about moving away. I'm not sure Mn would be my first choice for a couple of reasons. Lease is up...

    Suggestions for BT30 Dual Contact Tool Holders for a Brother Speedio S700Xd1

    For roughing, surely use a side lock. The runout different isn't much. I was really surprised to find this. I bought a few SK from Mari when I bought my first Brother. They are nice, nothing wrong, collet setup just didn't work as well as I thought they would. Be sure to torque the nut, just...

    Suggestions for BT30 Dual Contact Tool Holders for a Brother Speedio S700Xd1

    I use Mari-Tool. I use side-lock holders for most end mill work. I used to think the SK was the best but changed my mind, at least for the work I do. Good luck.
