Programming Shortcuts on Your Haas Control – Save Keystrokes & Time! Haas Automation Tip of the Day

Spend less time programming at your Haas machine with these programming tips. Mark shows you how in this "TIP OF THE DAY."

In this video, Mark shows you how to reduce your keystrokes by 30% when programming by hand, using nothing more than some shortcuts and a setting that already exists in your Haas control.

mark your a life saver. my work bought a milling machine and said here you go.. i didn't know how to eject a tool at that point. didn't know how to measure tooling. nothing... with the exception of cutter comp which is driving me mad... I'm pretty darn good thanks a bunch

Mark when will you show the use of G10 set offsets with its alphanumerical variables.

Love this! I'm regularly editing at the machine and that setting will save me a lot of time and headache changing feeds!

I am happy we see more videos lately with very useful and helpful tips . Keep it up, great job !!!

The "G" = "G00" is actually quite interesting.
My machine can index at 0 when I type "GC" = "G0 C0"
The reason the control does this is because you could also set a G-Code with a variable. On my machine an example would be:
#500=1
G[#500] X17. F0.05
The machine would move to X17. with G1 and a feed rate of 0.05mm/rotation

If #500 was never declined, the control sets it to null. other programming languages use "undefined".
When you, however try to use a undefined #500 as a G-Code, the machine interprets this as zero.
#500=
G[#500] X17.
would be G0 X17.0

the same applies if you give no variable OR number at all, e.g. "GC" = "G0 C0"
You can move to X0.0 and Z0.0 by typing GXZ. Most machinists don't know that and they'll absolutely hate you for it, but for MDI it's fine, i guess

Hello. Why this trick doesn't work on NGC machines? I have always use setting 162 on on older Haas machines. Recently I have bought new VF3 mill and this setting is on, but controler doesn;t add dot on numbers. Should I make something more? Or this is not available in NGC?

Please help me to calculate spindle speed and feedrate in cnc lathe please upload video and also teach about, how to stop runout and faceout technique

[ammarfarooqi]

sir please explain next video G50 coordinate system??

[ashishjha]

I have become ur big fan mark, can I join u for internship, to learn all about CNC machines

[panchovilla]

Very cool man thank you make more videos

How to use in back boring cycle G87 in haas machine

Ok, before i change the setting 162, please let me know what happens if you have positions like x3.25. Should it be X325 in settg 162? Or does it automatically figure out to put the decimal in after first digit? What about Y125? How would the machine know to render it Y1.25" or Y12.5?? Maybe it prompts you and i should try it? thanks

[powercamper]

But what happened to the radius on the corners?
