Make This Part On Day One – Haas Automation Tip of the Day

If you’re just starting out or maybe just want a refresher on the process of going from a piece of raw stock and a blueprint to a finished part in your hand, then this video is for you. Mark walks us thru all the steps to make this stepped indicator holder . . . beginning to end.

Using a Haas TL-1, the Visual Programming System - or VPS - and Shape Creator, learn how to make a part from blueprint to finish!

Here are links to the various videos and other references Mark’s makes during the video:

Mark is seriously one of Haas’s best assets. This channel is priceless for people just starting out. Wish this was around 20 years ago!! Keep it up guys.

Thanks Mark .
I was getting real frustrated trying to program a part for the first time.
You my friend made it easy to understand. 😊

THIS! Is why I bought two Haas CNCs. Im a fabricator that can CNC machine parts without years of training.

[jorgevivanco]

I've been running one of these at my job for almost a year and didn't know anything about shape creator. We always drew and programmed in fusion 360. Awesome to see all the different ways to use a machine like this

Been wait for this as a high school teacher! Thank you.

I am no longer a machinist for a living but I still love your videos

[iexcedo]

As a long time machinist, I wish I was taught in this format long ago. You should do a simple mill part to complete the set for beginners.

[vincentsteinmetz]

You are really the best teacher in the world, love how you explain :)

Great video Mark. Thanks for doing a video for CNC lathe beginners and on the toolroom lathe.

Bought a TL1 last year. I am not a programmer, at all. I do have one program that makes money and run the snot out of that, but the machine is capable of so much more. Please do more on programming the TL1!

[mjohns]

Nice to see the TL machines being used. I have several Haas machines but the TL's are the most used (for one off's). I have just traded one of my TL1's for a new TL2 (with 3000rpm spindel). I will miss the handle wheels..but have ordered the optional electronic hand wheels. Can't wait for it's still on the production line. Great video though.

Very informative video and some good explanations in simple terms for everyone to understand. Hard to stay away from “machinist” terms most wouldn’t understand.

The CNC lathe is probably the best choice for hand or conversational programming for sure. especially a TL

[oswaldosarango]

Hello. very good video helped me a lot with my TL2 I hope more videos of this type, tutorial, especially for someone like me who is started with his first cnc machine

[lukejones]

Engineers black book is amazing Its been the most used thing in my tool set for years if you haven't got one get one you won't regret it especially if your learning it has everything you need even a drill gauge with different angles for different materials

[Luchocr]

Thanks for this great beginner's video 👍

[kaotixtube]

Awesome long in depth video! Thank you!

[idouidou]

I work on a mazak lathe, this is very different of what i'm used to . Mazatrol seems way more simple to me ( maybe because i'm used to it ) . Great video, thank you ^^

[Stefan_Van_pellicom]

I always wondered : why don’t lathe manufacturers provide a practical tube to store the chuck key close to the chuck, and which has a lockout switch inside ? If you forget the key, the machine will not spin up.

[BzturPlayz]

You taught me alot of things man, thank you!
