Making progress with getting to know the old Haas. It's not as frustrating as it was.. I had to make a few small changes to the chip enclosure, install the work stop, and I was off! OP1 went well. Chip enclosure was great for these toolpaths.
I had read on PM about changing parameters to turn the spindle up to 6k rpm from the stock 4k, and rapids from 200ipm up to 400ipm. These are huge changes!
OP2 went well also!
10.007mm on a 10mm call out. Not bad at all. That's 0.0003"
I'll take it.
The parts look better coming off the Haas. It's not a huge surprise. The Haas has well-tuned servos, and linear bearings instead of box ways. I haven't looked close at it, but the cycle times are going to be significantly less. I'm happy with the Haas. Lots of parts to make!
Prepare for posts where I start to love the differences between the Haas and the Tree. Tool changer, faster spindle (6k vs 5k rpm), servo spindle, rigid tapping, faster feeds (double the Tree), faster rapids (4x the Tree), did I say TOOL CHANGER?!
