Great update! Love how you got the power and air away from the floor and up in the air! The machines don't use enough air to worry about quick connects, so I agree: Just leave them.
Thanks 👍 yes its much nicer to be able to walk behind the machine and not have the power and air leads just laying across the floor, saves tripping over them and also means its easier to clean and sweep behind the machines or roll the coolant trays out when needed
Love the vids man. I have my own shop in my basement with a Haas Super Mini-Mill, CNC Router, Bridgeport Series II, Willis 1550 and a lot of 3D printers. Your vids for fixing the Haas’s are great. I used them to swap ball screws and fix my tool changer.
That sounds like a great shop to have at home! I don’t think my wife would get me away from the machines if they were at home lol I’m glad the videos helped you out Thanks for watching
Good luck with your CNC course, I think its a great idea, especially for someone who would like to learn with an older machine which is something they could afford without payments!
Thanks, That’s the idea, If your looking to step into cnc buying something for 75k to 100k then the most likely already know way more than me or your doing proper courses etc So yes I’m thinking more for the guys who are thinking of starting their own small shop or a machine in the garage
Sockets are good for a dynamic work cell. Being able to relocate machines to set up new work cells to improve workflow and speed up production is a bonus. During the pandemic many large shops had to close as they were unable to adapt to both restrictions and the suspended product runs. Being able to adapt quickly to demand is key. Okay we are only small shops but thinking big (or outside the box) Is where we can find a competitive edge, eventually we will all have to be ISO 9001in order to do our chosen job - call it a government promoted licence, no licence then we wont be considered competent. Consider BS 7671 for the electrical trade, prior to 2006 many electricians were not registered with any professional body, then overnight many electricians found their operations were deemed illegal if they didn't get signed up to a professional body.
I have often thought about the iso9001 as really its just a paper work traceability exercise from what i can tell, and some people say much easier to do if your a single man shop as its easier to show how you follow your specified protocol
Hi In the past i have had new floppy emulators not work at all with a machine and i believe it is due to floppy software version variations in the Haas control, if possible try the floppy on another machine or try another floppy emulator

More work haha better get after it!
I’m a sucker for an old Haas and a challenge lol
Can you help me understand the floppy emeulator please I’ve watched both of your old videos about it but I can’t get it to work

Congratulations of amother vmc🎉
Cheers, hopefully I can fix and sell this one quite quickly though
