After watching you initial video, I dreamt of walking into my garage to make parts on a CNC mill. Fast forward about 6 months I took delivery of my own brand new Mini Mill 2 and could not be happier. This machine is perfect for this semi-retired teacher/garage machinist. It's plenty fast and more than accurate enough for what I do. Like I said, I could not be happier with my Haas CNC mill.

@@agentsmith7947 Yes, the HAAS mini mill can operate on single phase however, the newly redesigned HAAS super mini mill no longer can. The mini mill has also been reworked with a solid base casting (versus the weld frame seen here), and a 8k spindle by default (versus 6)

Good day Sir, I have received my new mini mill and have my OTS tool setter mounted in the same orientation as yours. I also am mounting 2 of the 6”Kurt vises from Haas. My question is how far from the tool setter puck to mount a vise. And also is there any type of cutter and measure routines to avoid like a 2.5” facemill. Would be nice if you could make a video for is newbees when setting these up. Thank you.

There are more makers operating out of their garage recently than any other time in US history. Just a few years ago, I had to send my engineers to visit new suppliers to exactly make sure that they aren't just a small garage job shop (larger business with high-volume requirements). The Internet has allowed this to happen, where smaller makers would usually struggle with traditional marketing.

Hi Mike, Thanks for the share,I plan to buy My first machine to My garage and every review is important for Me. I still not sure if gone buy Hurco or Haas. If you want I can give you for free post for Haas, Solidcam with I use currently at place where I work. It nice CAM to use. Like your stand for tool holders. Greetings from Poland

Hello Mike - These videos have been very informative. So thank you! We have a small engineering shop using an MM2 for inhouse prototyping and as we are not machinists we learn as we go along. I've had great success having co-op engineering students come through knowing nothing and leaving having designed and machined components going into test fixtures and shippable prototypes. Our tool library has outgrown the 20 position changer and your handling of multiple tools is of interest. Could you please point to resource information that outlines the process you used? Would be very helpful. Cheers - Andrew

I used setting 15 - H and T Code Agreement to allow offset number to be different from tool number. Then I wrote a custom post-processor macro to assign tool numbers and offset numbers as the tools were used. The machine allows 200 offset numbers. Writing or modifying post-processors depends on the CAM system and many systems natively allow control over offset and tool number

Loved all of your videos. I know little about machining but find it very interesting to watch especially the cnc machining ones. I see some using fixture plates to hold their parts instead of vices. Could you comment on what your thoughts might be to using fixture plates in a production environment?
@MP-ME
@MP-ME Жыл бұрын
I use vises whenever I can and only use fixture plates when necessary. My production runs are low and setup time is often more important than cycle time. . If I was making thousands of the same parts, I would do it differently

Hello Sir, I need your help. I am ordering a new Haas Mini Mill and will be running it in my 2 car garage. We are in a residential area in San Diego and I am worried about picking the wrong air compressor that will be too loud for any possible taddle tale neighbors. They all seem cool, but you never know. Can you please recommend a compressor for me to run that won’t be too loud if they exist? Thank you. We enjoy your videos.

The mill doesn't require a lot of air, so a smaller compressor would be fine. Noise is all about speed. Fast compressors are louder, but much cheaper. I use a Polar Air slow speed industrial compressor. Fast compressors have motors that run at approx 3500 RPM, slow compressors run around 1700 RPM. Slower motors are bigger and more expensive than fast motors and the pistons on the pump are larger

@@mikepeterson1207 also, my local compressor dealer recommended a Quicy QT-54 model. It’s an 80 gallon and was hoping it could also run a second machine down the road. I figured since they are local there would be a fast turn around on possible repairs. What’s your thoughts on this compressor? Sorry if I’m asking for too much, but I trust your opinion.

People talk about having machines in their garages but if your garage is maybe 15-20' from your neighbour's garage, would this thing be far too loud for a residential neighbourhood? Just checking.

I live in the forest, on a large lot. There is no standard for "too loud". It depends on the work being done and how picky the neighbors are
