    Haas SL10 parts catcher not working

    2002 parts catcher, not working. It's been getting kinda "lazy" but always operated, until now. I replaced the hardware just under the cylinder that pops up the catcher, thinking it was clogged. But still not working. That hardware has about a.005 diameter hole in it for the air to go...

    Haas SL10, leaking near chip auger motor?

    I have a 2002 SL10 that is leaking coolant out of the bottom of the machine. I can see the drip simply by standing back and looking underneath it. It appears to be dripping, right about even with back wall inside the lathe, where the chuck is. I'm not sure where it's coming from, but I'm...

    Trying to remove that stainless front plate on a fadal

    Got a 1999 2016L Fadal. It has developed a leak under the bottom of that stainless steel front plate that's right in the center of the front of the machine. Coolant drips right on the floor when you're running it. I'm trying to remove that plate, so I can see what and where there might be an...

    Fadal Leak right under where your feet would go

    I have a 1999 Fadal where the way covers on the Y axis got a little bent up. This is in the front of the table, not the back. I was able to pound them straight enough to function again, but now the machine has a leak right were your feet are when you're working on the machine. Anyone ever have...

    Need ideas to fix a part

    I screwed up. Drilled and tapped a hole in an aluminum part, looking at the left had print, when I should have looked at the right hand print. It's a 10-24 tapped hole, 1/2 inch deep. It's in the edge of a .344 thick plate. It is off location by .128. So, if I were to plug it, and drill...

    Something stopped working on my haas SL10

    Problem is, I'm not sure what stopped. When you first turn on the machine, you'll hear a "click" and the a slow "whiring" sound as the fans ( I'm assuming it's the fans) fire up, and that whiring sounds starts to wind up to a higher pitch. Then when you hit the power up button, you hear the...

    Hardinge Side mount tool changer problem

    Got a hardinge VMC with the side mount swing arm tool changer. I'll spare the details on how I got in this mess, but basically, a tool change got interrupted during cycle, due to an unrelated alarm. Normally, there's a tool change recover button that I could press, and it would just complete...

    Is there a way to mass delete programs on Fadal 88 control?

    Title says it all. 1999 Fadal with 88HS control. Previous employee left a whole boatload of programs in the control, and nothing to tell what they're for. Just want to delete them all, but rather not do it one at a time.

    Fadal coolant pump, surging after shutoff

    Got a 1999 Fadal, and after shutting off the coolant, either manually, or after reading M09, the pump surges on and off every 1/2 second or so. It's not doing it every time, but it does it quite often. It's definitely not just a natural siphon that's happening because I went back and checked...

    Why Can't I find the major diameter of a male NPT Thread?

    I"m looking in my machinists handbook, and looking online, everyone is giving the same chart. And these charts are only showing pitch diameters at certain points of the thread. So how do I know what diameter to turn it to? Trying to make a male 2 inch NPT

    How much pullback per diameter change on 16C collet

    Can't seem to find this info on the net, but it must be calculated somewhere. I have to face off some pins and hold the overall length to a .002 tolerance. That's +0000 -.002. My grinder wants to know just how tight he needs to hold the diameters from part to part, in order for me to still...

    Can someone explain what I'm seeing on these O.D. threads?

    Take a look at this picture. I decided to take a look at my threads on the optical comparitor, and noticed on one side of the part, the root radius appears quite different than the other side of the part. How can that be? Must be some sort of optical illusion of some sort?

    I have a strange dip in the middle of my turns

    Haas, SL10. Strange situation. When turning something kinda long, and there's a bit of a taper from front to back, we program out that taper. I'm talking about .001 - .0015 ish taper along about a 6-7 inch length. Yes, this is supported by tail stock. When working out the taper, we almost...

    What do you pay for live center rebuilds?

    I've got a royal live center with a 2mt taper shank for my cnc lathe. The tip is all chipped up and needs to be reground. As long as it's being reground, I have them throwing new bearings into it also. This is a 6000 rpm capable center. They're quoting me $298.00 for the work. Is this...

    Need some explanation on this double G76 code

    I don't use this very often, and the cheat sheet that came with hardinge is not very good at explaining. In this pic, I'm threading an O.D. thread that is 7/16-20 thread. It cuts the thread within 5 passes. I realize this will probably be just fine, but in trying to learn all the codes that...

    Fadal Tool change issue

    Hey, got a 1999 Fadal. Lately the tool changer has been operating fine, but the airblast in between changes has been sounding very weak. Not much air being blown. Now the tool changer jammed up on me, with an alarm stating "waiting for air cyclinder". Where do I look? This should be a...

    Need help, completely lost with cad/cam

    Hi gang, I'm completely green with cad/cam. Talk to me like I'm stupid. :D I've been using conversational forever, and now bought a machine that has no conversational control. I think it's time for me to enter the cad/cam world, but find it to be foolish for me to spend tens of thousands of...

    Haas Pull Stud Dimensions

    Does anyone have the actual dimensions needed for the pull studs on a Haas with Cat 40 holders? Apparently Haas can't seem to get their head out of their backside. I've been chasing this down for a while now, and they cannot come up with a diagram that shows everything. First they point me...
