[@haasautomation]

Here is the updated link to the bonus content: www.haascnc.com/video/Video-Bonus-Content.html Thanks for watching!

[@johnn.katsaoras4958]

Can you please tell me if there is a video where i can see how an angle head is "probed"? Thank you!

[@joshmartin8342]

I like watching these haas videos more than reading my school books and I fell like I get more out of these videos usually. Good work haas people.

[@Ahotam1]

Thanks for explaining how to use Right-Angle Head on HAAS VF mill from Slovakia!

[@slimetime2227]

Amazing videos! You guys make me proud to be an American machinist! PLEASE keep making these videos, very professional! So easy to follow. Mark is my favorite KZbinr ever!

[@jenniferriggins4561]

please consider video of engraving on an arc or lofted surface. thanks

[@ottobildstein5933]

The Haas VF is working even better with Benz Right Angle heads. Proven, powerful and precise

[@silvertourist]

Thanks Mark your tip of the day video's are excellent, extremely informative and a great way to improve my skill level, oh, and also very addictive just can't get enough. Thanks

[@siddalingeshnkarlawad4589]

Very Clear explanation

[@GlassImpressions]

Wonderful production and presentation!

[@aovantung2429]

clear explanation. Thank you so much

[@173roberto]

its amazing, I love haas videos. One question, how do I setup the tool height (h) when I use that divice?

[@slimetime2227]

Love the extra bonus material!

[@eddrm4685]

These videos are great...Thank you.

[@ther1kid]

Well done! Thanks for another great video.

[@pakman422]

I'm majoring in Machine Tool and just started the CNC courses. It's the last two classes of my schooling. (We have a VF2, a Mini Mill, two TL1 lathes, and a nice Haas slant bed lathe with live tooling I don't remember the exact model) We are learning G70 G71 G72 Bolt Hole circles and arcs/angles right now. It's a lot of fun my instructor says I'm doing excellent! Wish me luck guys!!

[@robytryall]

Good luck! How old are you?

[@pakman422]

[@Cobrass2]

so after three years, did it work out for you?

[@kalabrushka]

great, i've never seen this before expect on my nef400 (but that's a lathe)

[@CNCMachinistEducationNetwork]

I just had an issue and couldn't figure it out. I had a regular G81 drill cycle in XY plane - but it rapid into hole and did an X move after. I turned out G19 was active from Mastercam arc filter for 3d cutting. So I need to update the post to force it back to G17. That was some problem

[@exactengineeringllc5254]

Mark, great job explaining this topic. How do we get the sample g code?

[@ismaelfelix8771]

Gracias, y buen trabajo, espero ser tan bueno en un futuro como para trabajar para HAAS

[@thotaphanindra1432]

excellent videos.....sir please make more videos on cnc lathes also

[@phillipmillan1803]

[@subinperingave9777]

Hi Friends, I have 2 doubts on right angle head.Pls help me out. 1.Apart from 90° angle, other angles like 10°,30°,45°,60° etc available or can we customise the angle on this head according to our requirement? 2.I have a machining part and i do the set up for that part within 2 hours.Next time if i want to use an angle head machining How much time it will take around to do the set up ? Within 30 minutes Is it possible to do the setting up of an angle head? Wait for your valuable answers. Thanks in advance.

[@marvindamartian1969]

This is a good video for someone new to right angle heads and I did notice the spindle reversal why cant the manufacturers of these heads design their tools with the driven gear on the other side of the driving gear as apposed to where they actually put the driven gear this will eliminate this problem. A simple design change.

[@DayLight9382]

Hey Ray, your question makes sense, but some times the design you are suggesting can not be realised. To open the space for the gear you have to eliminate a bearing which will weaken angle head performance and lifetime dramatically. Due to maximum weight and size going through the ATC space is very limited and you can not just make the head bigger to avoid this problem. I think customer will be more happier with a long life head, as the programming needs to be done carefully anyway. I work for the german company mimatic. We produce right angle heads, in the USA Lyndex Nikken is our distributor.

[@SergioMartinez-nf7tu]

God bless you man!

[@MrMigue198004]

Que códigos activo en la máquina Hass vf8 para que me reconozca la programación para trabajar con planos g18, g19. Si alguien sabe. Muchas gracias

[@Ahotam1]

Hi Mark, I´m using Haas VF4-EU and for programing I have Solidworks with HSM Works 2021. I bought a BIG Kaiser 90 degree angled head but I can't find a postprocessor anywhere. Could You help me with my problem? Where I could find postprocessor for Angle head? Big Thanks Jan Safka

[@johnvuh]

In straight Fanuc you are able to use several tool length offsets in multiple work planes (as in using H1 in G17 [XY plane] and using H101 in G18 [XZ] plane) simultaneously while still working in the same work offset used for machining the top of the part. Theoretically it should also be possible on a Haas. H1 (G17) tool length offset is set as the distance between spindle and center of the tool in the right angle head, and H101 (G18) tool length is set as the distance from the tip of the tool to the center of the spindle. I'm pretty sure that to do that on a Hass you will need to disable some parameter to allow a mismatch between tool number and tool length offset. Also you will need to cancel tool lengths afterwards with a G49. The code should look something like the following: T1 M6; tool call 1 S1500 M4; turn on spindle, 1500 rpm, CCW, but CW in right angle head G49; cancel tool length G00 G17 G43 H1 Z2.; enable H1 tool length in XY plane, rapid to Z+2 from the center of tool in right angle head to Z0 G18 G43 H101 Y1.; enable XZ plane, enable tool length offset H101 in XZ plane, position cutter in Y axis in rapid X0. Z-1.; rapid to first hole position in X and Z axes G98 G81 R.2 Y-1. F10. ; drill first hole Etc..... G80; canned cycle cancel Etc..... M49; tool length cancel To be quite honest though it is quite a mess to run right angle heads on Fanuc based controls, especially if you are planning on doing more complicated work at goofy angles and such. Heidenhain control takes care of a lot of the mind-numbing calculations that if takes to do right angle head work in Fanuc allowing you to focus more on making the part, rather than not destroying the right angle head. 😉 TLDR: if you plan on doing lots of right angle head work you should go with a conversational control such as Heidenhain or similar, something that supports definitions of right angle heads, not a G code Fanuc based control.

[@christophercolumbus8944]

i dont believe Haas mills truly have G18 G19 planes they're all G17 planes

[@danielleandersson3837]

It would be great if you could show how i program an adjustable head with live tooling.

[@haasautomation]

Daniel - We can add angled VDI or BMT heads on your Haas Live Tool lathes. Companies like Benz, MD Tooling, and Heimatec offer angled heads built to fit your machine. You can Vector tap at these angles with a G195 code on your Haas Lathe. Great topic - Mark, Haas Tip of the day

[@jaysonandkaelinwagnermarsh558]

What is the part number for the right angle head in the video? I’m trying to find a right angle head to use on a haas and do tool changes but they either exceed the weight limit or diameter limit recommended by haas

[@AlMg1SiCu]

Check out the ones MST sells. They have a compact version that's pretty reasonably priced

[@slash09r1]

Looking at the G19 -X and +X sample code, I'm not seeing how you are orienting the spindle. Are the different work offsets setting up the angle head direction?

[@costin72ignat]

I was wondering the same thing. Angle head is oriented the same direction for both -X and +X programs. I thought was a mistake, but the same thing is listed for the G18 +/-Y

[@Rsaulus]

Thank you for explaining.

[@ottobildstein5933]

Is this tapping managed with rigid tapping? How about precision of the tapping? I mean ... there is always a backlash in the gear of an angle head. I bet M4, 5 or even M6 taps would break... I prefer to give a hint for spring extended tapping collets to compensate deviation and axial force. Beside this.... very good video, like it.

[@atomkinder67]

Hmm, does this support angled drilling operations? Edit: whoops you demonstrated it after all!

[@orioltr8387]

Trying to make circular poket with angle head and I got Haas Alarm 982 ZERO ANGLE MOVE G19 G13 X-1 F100 I20 D8 Why this error?

[@jeremypryor1665]

Mark, you should do a video for engraving with a right angle head. It sure would have helped me out this morning.

[@Skeez002]

will you put a link the to 90 degree head you used?

[@paradiddle11]

The much forgotten g18 and G19

[@lnorman79]

i guess it depends on the type of work your doing bro, their used on the daily in our shop =)

[@benignovalenzuela8727]

I have a question about cutting compensation when I use a head. how can I make the compensation of a cut if a cutter wears out

[@costin72ignat]

you’d make another program with a smaller diameter endmill because cutter comp doesn’t work in G18/G19

[@luispinna4461]

Hello I am from Argentina, I have a Haas VF640 year 2004 and what is indicated in the video does not work for me, any help Thanks

[@365305022]

Yeah doesn’t work me me either - old mill maybe?

[@berbouchebadis7166]

merci pour cette vidéo très détaillé vous les américains vous êtes trop fort .

[@yannicklb230]

Berbouche Badis il t en reste umpeu sur le coté 😂😂😂 je vais me faire ton arrière grande tante

[@CNCMILLENACOM]

Very interesting excellent videos

[@이수봉-d5q]

동영상 잘 보았습니다 감사합니다!!

[@JaakkoF]

Holy table lookup to find every G code that is not used daily. Or to find what those P, Q and whatnot do in *this* cycle. I don't understand why people still stick to code that was meant for machines, when alternatives exists, like for example Heidenhain. Way more simple to use and even the machine control panel is way cleaner.

[@teohguangsheng5472]

How to find that 45 degree points I still confused 😅

[@vlado9300]

I've done it 28 years ago on MAHO 1000 C/K

[@BiggestNizzy]

Tried this on my 1998 vf3 today and I couldn't get the pecking to work.

[@gopikrishna2597]

nice bro thanks for your video

[@денисворошило]

nice information

[@kenmoll2896]

How much tolerance do you lose witha 90 degree head? deflection?

[@ottobildstein5933]

Thats really a matter of the brand. The internal structure is essential. Learned that Benz Tooling are best. The head will flex around 20 microns. The cutting force is the result of feedrate, cutting speed and tool wear. It will go to zero.

[@hariraj5812]

Please explain about G88

[@chandansingh7988]

In NGC...... Are G41 & G42 working in G18 & G19 plane?

[@costin72ignat]

on a Haas vertical mill cutter comp doesn’t work in G18/19

[@pravinhinge2439]

Very useful

[@CDesign152]

Thank you for experience. Hi from russia

[@unionse7en]

When setting tool lengths etc.....don't use paper...no need to get tools that close to hard parts, use something MUCH thicker...like a 1" block. Get closer then 1" then lay the block next to the tool and move AWAY from the objects surface until the block just slips under the tool...more accurate and less dangerous. Set the dro to 1" for that tool, not zero.

[@bradiacm7828]

Use a 1/2 dowel pin, they're way much cheaper and ground to size in diameter. A box of 50 will last you a lifetime. Keep various lengths on hand at every machine.

[@weekend5288]

I hate to be that guy, but its damper, not dampener.

[@silkroad9188]

It is too much for doing side work too much risk of crash creasy setting and programing NO NO NO just do 4 and 5 axes please

[@Mekhanic1]

what

[@tatortots4257]

Using a piece of paper to touch off? feeler gauge is a must . What next using a ruler instead of calipers .. geeez

[@tansit2344]

Gauge block or dowel pin and move the tool AWAY until it goes under. Start in 0.01 til the gauge goes, remove the block, drop a click, switch to 0.001 til it goes again, done. No chipped tools if you go too far and better resolution, a few tenths if you need. I usually use a 3/8" dowel pin for setting general milling with my Gerardi G90-7 head.
