Just got a mini mill for the garage!

Amazing! Mine is exactly 83". What is your ceiling height?

Amazing! I am looking at one now. What is the height of your ceiling if my ask?

That didn’t seem too bad. Did all you have to do is remove the cable carrier? I’m wanting to get a TM-0P and the has dealer is telling me it won’t fit through my 83” opening. After seeing this video I’m thinking it will go.

Looks like the new mini they have now has windows so thats good.

When you say you recommend purchasing rigid tapping? Is that only unlocked software? Or is it a hardware thing? I really hope its not an up sale on some software unlock. That would be stupid....

Hope your shop is still going. I noticed your website is no longer up.

Looks great in there! Curious if you chose this over the TM series because of space limitations?

Thanks brother. It really helped me, but I still don't understand that how does the machine respect your tools cutting length. Like what if I have a shorter endmill and a Longer one, won't the 0 be different?

Looks good until the neighbors here you making money in the middle of the night and report you. Talking from experience.

again great

this is gonna be great for the student thanks and your doing great work keep it up

👍🏻👍🏻

So then how tall was it? I’m trying to see if one will fit in mine

I'm in the process of learning CAD/CAM. I like your detailed videos. Hopefully, you get back to making more videos!

You don’t move down on the gauge block move down in z then slide it under

Love the channel. Need more videos! 😁

I remember when I first got my TM2p I had to cut a hole in the garage roof to fit the spindle traveling in Z lol

i had to cut a hole in my garage ceiling for the column of my haas. pain in the ass. lol

Hi, nice video, do you have any isues with le low Z that this mini mill have ?

nice setup

Loving your videos, great stuff.

12:35 machine z is -5.4222 that how much you moved from home z. your G54 should be -5.4222-tool leght. your tool is 3 inch by eye. so G54 should be -8.4222 NOT +5.something lol., did you allready got it? same as x and y you get machine coordinate why not use machine coordinate on z too LOL

13:53 you dont need if you do it correct. just tell what leght your heimer and measure your part z, but then you need all your toold height be CORRECT. not HASS WAY (some number and -) LOL what tool lenght is positive

10:37 that is so incorrect. it should read -distance from z home(what comes from maxium -z travel + that 5.492). and your tools lenght shoud read +tool height and actually correct lenght LOL not - something

8:22 its not your zero. you are tool height abow

2:01 its HAAS thats why its so weird LOL bcoz they teach do it so wrong

0:15 no need know height from table to workpiece coordinate. only need know what distance from home. its that opposite distance lol

Boom like titans Academy. Copy and paste sentence.

Awesome video, using this to figure out setting up our old VF3, I came from Fadals using a reference tool and you can specify block side if using a tool setter on the table, so very different

Thanks for your review !

if you double click the chip forward button it will run with the door open

Interesting video. I would love to get a Haas mini mill but I'm just a retired guy taking up CNC machining as a hobby. I subscribed and look forward to seeing where you go from here.

Nobody want to give me any money either 😂 not sure how I missed this one Counterbore for the softjaws is awesome I haven’t been doing that way

Thx for sharing. What is the height of your garage ceiling? Highest point of Z axis column?

I like what you are doing, subscribed

funny how I'm watching this right now with a broken thumb.

Sharpie’s are great, but be careful using on finished surfaces that get anodized.

Good stuff... Love it!

Thanks for this. I'm new to fusion. I having trouble with the .40 Diameter. It turns into a convex circle when I try to extrude it?

Great starter list! I’ve got 11K M30s on my home MM2 so far, machine is working great 6 years in. Depending on what you make, a Saunders Machine Works fixture plate and mod-vise system could be a good investment; it turned my MM2 into a brand new machine letting me use the entire extent of the travels. Most of the parts I make are flat plates for high school robotics teams, so it really helps with my workflow. For coolant, be sure to get a deionizer if your water is hard, and a refractometer to keep tabs on the concentration. Over time as you reconstitute your coolant the mineral content will increase if you use water straight from the tap. Happy chip making!

Hi Clay, I have been following along in this series. Did you make a video showing the completion of the backside operations?

Hi - just received a TM0P and completed the speed wrench - it came out nice. Any idea when you will post the video for the soft jaw ? Also I am wondering how to calculate X and Y work offsets once the speed wrench is captured by the soft jaws.

What amp breaker are you using for 240 volt single phase?

love my old fadal its around 10,000# and I moved with pipes easily. but I did get it for 4 of your payments and it came with 4th axis and Renishaw probe

Nice man I’m glad you but this one out

Great video! Most of the other machining videos talk only about high level stuff (and necessitate an additional mentor to actually do things). You show a bunch of small details that a beginner will miss.

What was the small hole in the fixed jaw for?

Awesome I can’t wait to get there

Where are you getting your feeds and speeds from? Do you just remember from experience?
