Spindle Speed Variation - Stop chatter on your CNC lathe

SSV speeds up and slows down the spindle continually during cutting, and changing spindle speed in this manner can often keep the cut out of the chatter zone. This video gives an in-depth look at how the feature works, and shows examples of using SSV both with and without tailstock support. We conclude by taking a look at how SSV works in conjunction with two common G-codes: G96 and G50.

How to use the Tailstock on a Haas Lathe

This video covers a wide array of topics related to using the tailstock on your CNC Turning Center. Some of the subjects we touch on are: length to diameter ratio, center drilling, choosing a tailstock pressure, dealing with fragile parts, and choosing and maintaining your live center. We also review the particular methods for commanding and controlling the Haas Tailstock with M-codes and Settings.

Machine Tool Coolant: Cleaning Your Tank

Is the cutting fluid in your coolant tank full of oil and chips? Worse yet, is it beginning to stink from the effects of bacterial infestation? In this video, we first look at cleaning out a marginally dirty tank. Then, we move onto a really dirty tank, and the steps involved in cleaning the machine's entire coolant system when it's been overrun by neglect and contamination.

Chuck Installation Guide

Follow along as we remove and then re-install a 10" power chuck on a Haas ST-30. In addition, we look at the installation of a collet chuck, and also review removing lighter weight 6" and 8" chucks, which can be lifted by hand. We also adjust the runout of a manual chuck fitted to a Haas TL-1 Toolroom Lathe, and finish with notes about removing a chuck suffering from a lack of maintenance.

Haas DXF Import — How To

DXF Import is a component of the Intuitive Programming System (IPS). The IPS option must be enabled for DXF Import to work. This feature allows a programmer to import an already existing 2D DXF file into the control and use the geometry to generate tool paths. The tool paths can then be used to generate G-code.
