Machine Your Own Gifts on Your Haas! - Haas Automation Tip of the Day, Holiday Edition

[@haasautomation]

Hey all! I'm at the Performance Racing Industry Show (PRI Show) here in Indianapolis, and was randomly asked by a stranger (viewer, I hope?) where I got the door handles I used. In case you were wondering too, I got mine on sale at Hobby Lobby. Nice selection. Enjoy! -Mark, Haas Tip of the Day

[@fatmachinistfataman5360]

the only gift i want is the hass machine

[@SteinErikDahle]

I wouldn't mind one either... Happy new year!

[@jrolands]

I got two of them for christmas ^_^

[@KlaversFMTBreda]

House numbers are also a great thing to give! You can engrave the owners names on it so its a bit more personal gift.

Back in trade school, we would make gifts every year for the school staff. Card holders, multi-bit screwdrivers, and tape dispensers, to name a few. Usually in batches of 600 or so.

I made engraved custom keychains a few years ago. Everyone loved them, and some of the family still uses them! I'll send a photo if I can find one.

[@WCGwkf]

I made golf divot tools with initials engraved

[@yitzfinch9747]

Hi Mark - still waiting for a video showing how to got from line are to CNC!

[@JohnDoe-kh4bg]

Thanks for the laugh. I laughed at every scene you showed up wearing a different hat. Cool idea too.

[@xTheDuffmanx]

What a great idea. Love the video!

[@s28400]

Those festive hats though. Haha, great video as always!

[@bbarker5766]

Great stuff Mark! You just gave me an excellent idea for something other than gifts... THANKS!!

[@Hendreh1]

[@pvtimberfaller]

Definitely the green hat.

[@fattyinger]

[@ericwolf5874]

I liked the tip of the silly putty.

[@bonyface]

Merry Christmas!!

[@PetesShredder]

Hi Mark, Great to meet you the other day and see round your enormous factory. I have to say I did wonder what the random blue plastic egg was on your work bench, but now I know! Pete. (from England).

[@haasautomation]

Hey Pete, it was great meeting you too! The most fun part about this job is meeting people and talking about the cool things that they are making. Thanks for watching our videos! -Mark, Haas Tip of the Day

[@Steve-uy9lj]

Nothing yet, Im still learning at my local makerspace with a Tormach!

[@johnbodmer5645]

Thanks Mark. Great video.

[@massimonobili8253]

Ciao...scusa non conosco l inglese vedo il vostro canale e lo trovo interessante. Vi chiedevo se capita un incidente esempio una punta che si blocca nel pezzo che si lavora o vari inconvegnenti come ci si comporta ? Grazie...

[@DesignDynamicTactical]

What a great idea! Thanks!

[@geertpietermolema8095]

i love the Dutch translation: using a screw machine(lathe) for turning, a engraving machine(engraving tool) presumably on top of the milling machine, and a head drill(spot drill) and so on.. - that aside - keep up the good work on the Haas machines. Nice workpieces. Merry Christmas!

[@blob_87]

I made some wine bottle stoppers out of 304 stainless last year and laser engraved the ends the recipient's initials.

[@timothymeininger6003]

poofire.

[@KikeLifeStyle]

you need to do two, one for the present and another one to seal the box of the present!

[@yitzfinch9747]

Hi Mark - I need a good workflow to engrave company logos and other artwork onto my parts. What's the best way? I'm a Solidworks user, or I can use other software to make DXF files, I think. This is more than just engraving letters and numbers. Thanks, and please keep more TOTDs coming! And, where can I get a signed Mark Terryberry 8x10 photo to hang in my shop?

[@JustinSeiffert]

The crazy hat killt me

[@Machinedconcepts]

Great idea guys! loved the video!

[@stoikgramadanski7401]

Nice outfit, dude :) !

[@danhubbard8214]

I also make custom engraved pool stick chalk holders and put them on a retractable key chain holder. Custom made (for my neighborhood bars) quarter holders to stick on their pool table with the bar name engraved.

[@주진-b8n]

[@jacksonledford6874]

[@SteinErikDahle]

Too brittle I guess? :-)

[@bowen1100]

I have a huge interest in cnc machining but had the chance to work them, only ever worked on manual machines in toolrooms. when at work before there was some titanium gr5 in the scrap bin, I asked the boss if I could have some to make a bait punch set for fishing as a gift for my dad, next thing I knew I was making the boss a set too.

[@wranglertr]

That was good. Waiting for your tip of ramadan bairam

[@danhubbard8214]

I make posted sign templates

[@MakeItWithCalvin]

Lovin all the crazy hats! Being I created the #instamachinist tag eons ago on Instagram i may make up a few keychains in brass and give them away to some machining buddy's time permitting!

[@bobdiazGuitar]
