Set Your Lathe Offsets Manually - Haas Automation Tip of the Day

Mark is getting back to basics in this TOD. Setting your Tool and Work Offsets on a Lathe can sometimes be a confusing proposition for machinists who are just starting out. So Mark is explaining the process from beginning to end and focusing on how to do it when you aren't using the ATP (Automatic Tool Presetter) arm, but doing the job using the more traditional manual method.

Here are links to the various videos that Mark mentions along the way:

I wish more guys in shops were as cool as this guy.

[stonedassassin]

Wow finally a video that explains so well. I’ve been looking for one for a long time. I had t pause it to comprehend how
Much knowledge I’m absorbing so easily and quickly

[ryanrosser]

It's funny I've done this for a living for 15 years and still like these videos. I share these videos with our plant manager trying to get him to bring some Hass in and educate him a bit so he knows more about the machining process.

Самый информативный производитель станков с ПУ, понятно что обучающие видео ориентированы на освоение их станков, но такая подача профильной темы, с такими объяснениями только у них, ну и молодцы Абамет стали потихоньку переводить их видео, не все конечно, но хоть что-то, лучше конечно чтобы следом за англоязычным видео выходили с русским переводом, Haas продолжайте в том же духе!

I love the way y’all explain things 👏👏 learning a lot from y’all 🙏

[sonnyudenze]

Very very helpful , thank you sir I expect more videos from you because you really explain it very well

I have been waiting for this video my last 3 years teaching machine tool technology at a community college!!!! I always have a hard time explaining this process to my students. Now I have a video to do it for me! It seemed as if Mark even had a difficult time explaining it. This process is extremely difficult for newbies to understand!

[andrewnichols]

This video has perfect timing. I've had a Hass TM1P for a while, but the lathe is a new beast all together.

[thotapraveenbabu]

Thank you sir for very useful tips...we are waiting for video on tool nose radius compensation

[cyrucom]

Thanks, helpful tips. If you don't have a hole, but you need to measure a boring bar you can run the spindle in reverse and skim the OD of the part. Then you can input the negative of the diameter you measure. Though this only works if you have enough X axis travel

[barryhenshaw]

Great vid! I'm looking forward to machining again after a layoff, and I need the refresher.Thx!

[hikolanikola]

we have st20y on my work place, and no one has no idea how to use it, and the one guy that has slight idea what he is doing, he is not sharing knowledge... So thank you very much for making this publicly available.

On threading tool the Z value programming in front of the insert is more logical, because on drawing we have this dimension.
And on this manner we are sure the threading tool dont interfer with the second face

[matthewsandys]

Please make a video or series on the TL for educators.

[abdesmacha]

Can you please make a video explaining how to calibrate motorized tools manually without the measuring arm?

[RHCPFAN-yksw]

Yeah we touch the left side of the threading insert on the right side of the probe. Then when we program, we just add in the extra .100 to the desired length of threads in the program.

[CNCMachinistEducationNetwork]

Love the Distance to go !! On lathe I also like to call the G54 a work or part Shift

[scottwatrous]

While I have the ATP and it's not been a problem, but would be good to show a good method for manually touching off an opposite-hand tool for back-cutting and so-on.

My gut says take a flat surface (gauge block for example) and press it against the cut reference surface, then touch off of that. But wondering if there's something I'm missing.

Also for a neutral cut tool, say a V-type, is the method basically going to be the same as shown for a threading tool? Touch off the side of the holder then offset a further amount based on the edge to CL value? I feel like there would have to be some amount of maybe dialing that in depending on just how on-the-nose everything is.

[HimynameisLeo]

Chat I need help understanding G54. My trainer isn’t really explaining or doing a great job. I understand you face off the X and Z with the roughing tool. Is that when you enter G54? Already touched off all my tools boring bad, drill, thread, rougher, and finisher. Thanks again.

Thks Mark. On Classic control we used to have F2 button set centerline tools as it was always the same number from home. Or the old magic marker number on the door.
