Thank You, at 62 I've been a millwright/maintenance mechanic for 25+ years but I've just been working on the haas's and Mori's for a couple of years. The more I do the younger I wished I was! The vast majority of the machines that I work around have been "used hard and put away dirty" and my first reaction is always wanting to give them a bath but there is no time for anything but "pm"(panic maintenance). I appreciate your efforts a bunch!
Thank you, 25-year-old, I have been engaged in machining center maintenance for 7 years in Yuyao, China. Most of me are also cleaning CNC. I really want to have your working atmosphere.
This a great video! I bought a 98 HS1 and it was in worse shape than this, and have slowly been restoring it to working condition. Funny thing was when we had to haas tech rebuilding the office mill at my work, I was telling him about my HS1, he said he had worked on it a few times. He said it was the most abused machine he had seen haha. I found all sort of spliced wires( twisted copper and electrical tape), the machine had also been outside for several years, so many air hoses were cracked and the y axis ball screw was toast. I was told it was running when they took it out of the shop, and they guy who was selling it, tricked me into paying before seeing it, threatening me that other people had made offers, and he needed the money. for a machine of this size it was a great price, and I actually dont regret it, since I learned so much, but I wont gain anything from making the same mistake again haha. The HS1 has a full service manual which is great, later machines do not. for example the 2005 office mill at my work had basically nothing, so when the haas tech came to rebuild the machine(new spindle, linear guides and ball screws) he had to figure it out, and when he called haas hq they told him they didnt have procedures to replace those components, and the way they did it in the factory was with the sheet metal all off. Also If you need to have haas come out, good luck, took two years to get our office mill serviced at work, and I was calling them weekly to get someone out.
Hi mate. Congrats for the purchase. It look worn and tired... I'm following you on Instagram, also now on Yt. Love your posts, because am also a Haas service technician so we share same job. Keep up with a good work. Greetz from Serbia.
Well what a good video, not to get too off topic you sure sound look and dryly seem like the son of George Carlin 😂 thanks for the video nothing like done good tips for machine inspection!
Pretty good video! I was always told that you should move a CNC machine on an air-ride truck. If you don’t some of the sensitive electronics can be damaged. I don’t think you mentioned that.
I struggled so hard repairing my Fadal. I paid to a company that made the job wrong. At the end I got involved a lot and I want to learn to repair cnc machines but I know almost nothing of electronics
great video. however, when changing cutscene on the video, the mic level is either loud or just right. if necessary do a voiceover. you can hear a huge different on computer speakers.
I gotta guy selling a vf3, he said his counter balance says 1000 psi and it's supposed to be 1150. He said he gets z axis faults 141,164,182. Wjat am I getting into? Easy to repair?
CNC Repair Man, cool videos. Recently started hearing a squeak, on a UMC1000, when the Spindle moves in X (Rapid Motion). Any idea what may be causing that? Thanks!
That Haas has is only 2 weeks old….their so cheap nasty underpowered and lightweight this is what they look like after 1 week running 8 hours per day for 5 days

I wish I saw this a week ago before I bought my second cnc machine, my first haas 😅 I'm subscribing I don't want to miss the future videos
very good - I worked at 2 machine tool dealers and your stuff is right on

Nice way to start, not too long and a very through check list. Charles
Looks like someone got their money's worth out of that Haass... looking forward to your channel - best of luck to you sir.

Great Video! Thanks for doing this for us! Keep up the great work Aaron.
Like you approach. Clear, logical and concise.

Awesome video! I’d love some very in-depth slower paced videos! Keep it up!!
Thanks for your videos man. You are great.
good shit... hope you make more videos mate
Amazing content. I would suggest a lapel microphone. Please keep making all these videos.
Keep up the good work. Nice video!

WELL DONE, HOW ABOUT BACKLASH
Awesome video!

Do you have any experience with sending a ballscrew for refurbishment? What are the results like?
Check out Wedin International, Cadillac, Michigan. It'll be better than new when you get it back.
Great vid man!
How did u check the coolant unit
I am getting alarm 179 on my haas vf-4 any ideas what it should be??
Would be interesting to watch one with a machine that doesn’t look so obvious busted
You learn more seeing a beaten one taken apart but seeing a nice machine would be good for comparison.
FADAL VMC15??
Super
Will a 10k forklift with 8 foot forks lift a haas VF0E safely?
Easily and safely. Presuming you aren't trying to lift it 20ft in the air!
Just a tip. It is not professional looking to have a grammatical error on the homescreen of your website. *Than
This have me a mild panic attach
Spindle sounds like shit
