4 TIPS - ONE DAY: Probing, Wrenching, and Chamfering - Haas Automation Tip of the Day

You cut da swarf

It saves homos

I use a toilet

I’m here for the last tip

I’m a production lathe guy, but I got a long handled garden hoe with forks on the end and now half the shop borrowed it daily because it gets your hand out of the chip bin and gives you more leverage to break up the clumps

Put the colored wrenches into the Wiha holder...

Hello Mark ! Thank You for Polish subtitles ! You are awesome !

terryberry can't be your actual name...

😂 I always impress ppl at work with spinning my Alan wrenches

I'm still waiting for you guys to release that flexing probe tip in the video.

what a poser.. i tried it once i i failed spectacually^^
i really like the videos with the little tweeks and twists to get better at an cnc.. greetings from germany

muy bueno. !!!

Wiha makes several sets of very tiny screwdriver/hex/torx drivers in a case with 1 handle to hold them..nice tools.

I'll advice the contrary, DO NOT get a "cheater bar", buy a torque wrench, even the cheapos from Aliexpress will do the job.
They will save you a lot in a lot of ways. They'll drastically improve the life of your fixtures, and will improve precission when using a torque wrench in the vise.

If you don't have a stop for the part... what we do is probe the hat or stock in the xy and leave like .030 radial. Then we reprobe and this leaves enough clearance to get the part without hitting the hat or stock.

I use a magnetic base with an indicator a lot.

cool 3d

Sir please tell us about your secret.

Sometimes I feel like the best tool I don't have would be a cup holder 😅

Așa că în meseria mea comparativ cu foarte mulți italieni de mine cunoscuți sunt de nivel înalt nu foarte înalt pentru că tot ce am învățat a fost tot timpul în 5 minute.

Cum spuneam sunt privat nu socialist nu capitalist fac ce știu și îmi place să fac

Oricine știe asta

Sculele potrivite pentru ce faci

Orice mecanic stie asta

Why wouldn’t you just probe the stop (provided its precision) and the fixed jaw, instead of adding a 123 block?

OP

When is there gunna be a probe program to get us close to getting a vise 90?

something I bought that I really appreciate is a holster for my calipers. I cant tell you how much hassle this has saved me.

The Wiha Ergostars are also available in a coloured version as well as the silver - they even glow under UV light to make them easier to find. Best of all worlds. They have a MagicRing option too to hold onto the head of a screw so it can't fall off. I should be on commission ! Your channel is superb.

Thank you, Mark,Your tips make my life easier

I love using a ratchet and Hex Drive sockets. Though I’m a machinist, a ratchet is probably my most used tool. When it comes too cheater bars, I use a breaker bar and my hex drive attachments. I’ve tried using cheater bars, but for me personally, it’s more of a pain than it’s worth. There are some occasions where I need too use a cheater bar, but if I have an option, I will choose my ratchet and breaker bar.

The allen wrench spinning got the like ans sub lol. Just because we use massive and possibly dangerous tools, does not make us adults bahahaha

love the \/

Need that red dykem daily 🤣 I don't scrap parts I make set up pieces

I teach the 123 block method for the Op2 - I think I may have to do probe the stock and do some math and probe the "plane" the 123 block and compare accuracy. Op1 is so easy - but now we have to be accurate and repeatable on Op2.

I bought silver for metric and black for inch. common problem mixing up or losing wrenches. I was the only one going around putting every think back in its place. I use 1/2 NPT pipe from plumbing for cheater bars

when we do hand g code I show how to use same contour path for chamfer - with my 50/50 method. Z-.05 and D #-.05 in Radius geo
( we use radius comp). copy tool path and edit as needed.

hey any stats on how many people use D comp as a Diameter or as a radius ? Our 1980's shops all did radius
Ed D

...or just put a joe block on the side and probe on it!

I got a pipe for my allen wrenches because one time my wrench slipped and I cut off 3/4 of my knuckle on the corner of a sharp aluminum jaw I just recently milled down.

Mark must have been a drummer in an 80's hairband!!

That intro had some TOT vibes

The last trick you showed us at end of the video, made me the day😂 . I did the trick long, long time ago. Now, I am your fan.👏👏👏👏

On cheater bars - try to get sometging like a piece of 1/2" bore, heavy wall alum tube, becuase you'll damage it more likely than the wrench - mine is cut just a bit shorter than the inside of the drawer it sits in👍😉

hex keys made by allen company

A dovetail type vice with talon grip vice jaws, a write on anything marker from the dollar store (works on oily surfaces), a 6 inch piece of bent steel strapping as a parallel keeper, ***venturi type coolant mixer!!***, a telescopic magnet, a rolling oil tray under my chip container to catch coolant and a boss that’s away on vacation. These are a few of my favourite things. Oh, and we must not forget the Kureg.

Thanks

wouldnt it just be easier to program this off the stop and stationary vise jaw from the get go? also, if the next op is to face off the excess, you could just have a bigger tool path to expose your walls, and then probe it.


i used to use a 3/4 wrench as a cheater because i have about a dozen of them for beaters and would usually leave a couple at every machine. lately i've just been using sockets for everything because i've been trying to get in the habit of using a real torque for everything, took me a long time to succumb to the fact its a much better way of doing things for consistency and not stripping things out. most useful tool i have is a 1" square 7" long brass drift. use more than anything.


that chamfer tip is slick, going in my bag of tricks for sure.

Favorite Tool = Renishaw Probe 😂😂😂.....so convenient an Engineer can use it 😂😂😂😂

My Fav. Chamfer is a 3 flut from Dixie ( can really recamend it )

My 2 fav. Tools in my box is foam cheats so I have a soft safe and chip free place to put my parts quicky without scratches and the other one is some thine bend spring steal shims witch is use to keep the parrales in place well changing parts ( works like a charm if you don't open the vise much more then takeing out the part. But give it a good bend and then sques it really well ( so it goes to about 1/6 of it's bend size at minimum or even so it goes flat)

You probe the X axis , but how to probe the Y (on that part) ?
