    Need tool offset help… please!

    Thanks for all the help! I think I’ve got it now. I just wasn’t zeroing my REL when setting the Haimer on the 3” block on my table. I just ran a program just to verify this and everything’s perfect. Thank you!!! I did use the “measure” soft key after inputting “Z0” when my Haimer was zeroed on...

    Need tool offset help… please!

    I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out. I do have a 3” tall tool setter and I use the 3” side of a 1-2-3 block for my Haimer, all from on the table. I think I’m missing a step that you’ve explained in your process. Below you state… “Zero the Haimer on the gage block then either...

    Need tool offset help… please!

    I am new to cnc milling and recently purchased a 2007 Sharp SV-2412S which has the Fanuc oi mate-mc system.

    Need to move my new VMC from Portland, OR

    Just to provide an update if anyone is interested. I brought my machine home yesterday. A buddy was kind enough to drive his pickup with trailer and I took my pickup and trailer. We hauled my forklift on one, and the machine on the other. Piece of cake. I don’t know why I was considering not...

    Need to move my new VMC from Portland, OR

    Wow, I must’ve offended you in a previous life. Yeah, you seem real eager to help with my “shit”. If only everyone was as kind and professional as you. If you had any helpful advice to give, you would have given it. Rather, you come onto these forums to try to make your narcissistic self feel...

    Need to move my new VMC from Portland, OR

    That’s fine. It’s in Portland. If that’s not specific enough for you, I don’t know what you consider bare minimum. Besides, no matter how big the Portland area is, the machine still needs to be transported out of the area. If you only operate in a select region of the Portland area, that doesn’t...

    Need to move my new VMC from Portland, OR

    I got a fair deal on the machine. I was just looking for a fair deal on a forklift and $750 is not what I call a fair deal. My initial post was asking about companies that provide transport for machines like this one. I have not had to use any, since I’ve always transported my own machinery, up...

    Need to move my new VMC from Portland, OR

    The seller does not have a way to load and rental companies either don’t have forklifts to rent for a few weeks or they want $750 for the rental. I have a forklift on my end as well as a trailer for transporting the machine, but can’t line up a reasonably priced forklift on the other end. I just...

    Need to move my new VMC from Portland, OR

    Does anybody have any recommendations on somebody that can transport a Sharp SV-2412 VMC? I just purchased a machine, my first cnc mill, and I need to get it transported from the Portland, OR area about 2 hours north to WA. Also, any advice on transporting a CNC machine during the rainy months...

    Tracer mill hydraulic line bleeding

    Hello, I am hoping someone can help me to get my milling machine tracer attachment operational. When I bought the machine, it had all the hydraulic lines disconnected, but they were labeled as well as plugged to keep debris from entering the lines. I am looking for some insight on how to...

    Cincinnati Contourmaster 1C

    I am still searching for a manual for the Contourmaster milling machine. I would be happy to pay for one, even if it is just a copy of an original. I am trying to get the machine fully operational, but have no experience even running a tracer mill, let alone making the tracer work properly...

    I just looked on the Acratrace unit and found the following serial number... CYA-5S-10-24 1-C I'm unsure where to find the serial number on the actual milling machine but found this on the front edge of the table... 7J3H5S-9 Thanks

    Cincinnati Contourmaster 1C

    Thanks for the pictures, as well as the help. Where will I find the serial number on the machine? I was told it is a 1C but it'd be nice to be sure. I'd also like to know the year of the machine and was told the year could be identified using the serial number. The Acratrace manual I got looks...
