I have a couple Haas mills and really like them and yes I do know there down sides but also know there upsides.

I am mostly a mill shop but need to do some turning , mostly under 1" Dia and up to 7" long , so the Small Haas lathes fit my part size good . In the past I have had lathes with Fanuc controls and would like to stay away from them.


So one question I have is how are the "new" Haas bar feeders working out? I need to do 2 or 3 pushes per part to a hard stop and part length is +/- .010 so it should hold that with a dead length collet chuck.

How is the interface for the bar feeder? easy to use?
 
It interfaces with lathe. There are no controls on the bar feeder itself. You command it with G codes for load bar, unload bar, push, etc.
 
but is it simple to use ? I worked with a older LNS feeder and it was a real pain to work with .

any feedback on the new control on the lathes? it sounds like they have only been using it for about 6 months on the lathes.
