The posts I had were generated and opened in Cimco, great program IMO. ALso, notepadd++ is a free download and beats the pants off 'regular' notepad!

just stop please. everyone knows you hate MCX, move on!

to make a second/third wcs, just make the transform at 0,0 and on the first page select assign new for wcs. unless there is something else going on, this is the way I have always used for a generic Haas post

in your value boxes, type in (for example) 15.8mm. Working in the std english config start up, which I am pretty sure you are using, it will convert the 15.8mm to english units.

Good post! I forgot about setting saying something about the increment values. :oops: Above that box (not to overload you sorry...) there is an option to ghost the original ops and copy them so everything is under one single transform op. There are other ways to do this for more advanced...

Have you cahnged the t-form type in lower left? Try clicking both options (not at once), then check your code. I am 100% you just have an option set wrong. It won't take long to see a difference in output. That said, what version MCX? Are tour work offsets set so they output G54 etc, and not...

what he ^ said. It's pretty straightforward when you know where to look. And if you click the help button in lower right a window should pop up showing the options and how they work.

Couldn't say about heat issues. My office sits about 73 and the shop stays at 75 so... 😄

nice we turn down to .007-.009" dia pins from brass quite a bit (:

sounds like he is looking to hire, but? @Herding Cats I was going to ask him to re-word the title if possible but I see you are on it.

That is the problem. We are doing it as mentioned, programming both sides as if it's in the main spindle, then adding the G14. I guess my "confusion" or issue is the post is from Postability for the Haas ST20Y and the sub programming isn't posting correctly... And doing it with the G14 means...

M154 C AXIS ENGAGE (SETTING 102) M155 C AXIS DISENGAGE I am aware of the sync codes. @dsj - G14 with M143/M144 causes an alarm per Haas. We are working around for now, but would like to be able to use what Mcam is outputting for the sub using the M commands for the sub.

Nothing? Maybe I should move to the cnc section?

4140PH (PH = PRE-HARD , HT = HEAT TREAT) they may be interchangeable depending on brand? It is supposed to be 28-32Rc, don't know what that is in Bhn (?) scale...

think wheelieking is a member here. he had some nice pics of using versa grips bolted onto the face of chuck jaws https://www.miteebite.com/products/versagrip/
