Hey like the videos, I make watches and small parts all products no job shop. I have a hass OM-2 a Tormach MX and EMCO lasers and other goodies. I wanted to make sure you were aware of an issue I painfully just found out about on my Haas OM, as you know it came with a battery-powered grease. the grease they used has an issue of gelling up and clogging lines. and then it ends up bursting a line and then NO fittings get lubed. I had my X screw start making clicking sounds in one direction. I did some inspections and found about 3 pounds of grease on my Z column getting pushed out of a burst line.. I had bought the om used and due to the color of grease I could tell this had happened years before I got it. needless to say, ball screws are being reground and balled...there was an update for it but my Haas LDO never told me even on year check-ups... So I'm just letting you know to check for the updated grease system and make sure everything is getting lubed..Pull your way covers and check. I'm converting mine to an oil system to make sure no grease clogging happens again
@@JohnSL Oh I see, glad you still are. Well, I liked your Books: Solver and Assembly ones, I'm old 51 guy, not a programmer unfortunately, but trying to get there
Nice lighting.
nice. watching this at work.

Why were you using grease?
can you share the cad I have a OM-2
Do you have problems with coolant collecting under the covers? It looks like there's a gap between the tool setter base and the vise.
So I guess you don't care about Software Engineering anymore, do you? Hmmm...
This channel is my hobby. Software engineering is what I do for a living.

Hi John, very cool design. Would you mind sharing the cad please ? I’d like to print some for my VF2. Thanks in advance
