I commend you for putting this content out there, I have been thinking about doing the same so people can make an informed buying decision. Any new machine will have some quirks but Haas has several and it's annoying because most of the problems are easy fixes, it boggles the mind. They musty be hiring engineering students right out of school, large brains but no sense.
Do you know what the Haas part number is for the spindle liner adapter you used is? I am interested in setting up a bar feeder on my st35y but have been told by Haas I cant do it...
I'm sorry, I'm just seeing this. The spindle liner kit was this. www.haascnc.com/haas-tooling/lathe_workholding/spindle_liners/08-0199.html and the adapter was this www.haascnc.com/haas-tooling/lathe_workholding/spindle_liners/05-0206.html Then I made an adapter to fit the adapter ha!
That is a fair statement. If I was running thousands of parts at a time, then it wouldn't be so bad. However, because I am a job shop, I can run anything from 1/4" to 10" multiple times a day and 15-20 minutes each time is painful.
@@wrfnation1541 I understand believe me I do. The question is, is it cheaper to machine donuts from UHMW, or is it more cost efficient to purchase purchase a liner. TBH I would purchase a liner, less things to keep up with. Man we are in a very competitive market. I wish you the best. Haas is a very good job shop machine. If you get I to 500 or more part runs I think Doosan sub spindle is the way to go. Don't get me wrong I love Haas controls, Doosan is well built, only downside is learning Fanuc control. I hope you make alot of $ in your endeavor. If you ever step up to a Doosan for productivity pm me. Brother I will be glad to help.
@@phillipwebb3309 those are all valid points. My main point was the cost of the “kit” that came with the donuts was more expensive than the kit for the long spindle liners. Both work I was just sharing my experience with it.
Man, thats some awesome conduit in the background.
Thanks, we spent a lot of time trying to make it look good.

Thanks for the info.
You need to check your axis lubrication system before its too late. The purple grease used by hass gets clog inside the lines.
Nice

Those donuts and pvc spacers kinda suck, although they are very easy to make.
