Iny Haas peeple here? Inyone on AMC at all?? LOL



I just got a Haas GR510, and boy, haas ain't exactly quick on the trigger

for training, getting you up and running.



So far, altho the haas controller eclipses the Fadal 88CS ito

bells/whistles, I must say the 88CS is much quicker, more "ergonomic" to

use, proly half the keystrokes. I don't find the haas controller terribly

intuitive, either. Altho the colors are nice.... LOL



Reminds me of Xywrite, the NYTimes/Atex derivative wordprocessor ca.

1985-90, proly THE finest word processor in the world. Hooray NYT!!

Then along came fuknWindows.....

Now, you cain't even get a readable directory tree any more.... or adjust

the g-d idle on yer car, for that matter.....



Inyway, just looking for a place to ax Dumb Haas Qs....

Mebbe I'll have to go to PM, eh? I spose I should bug the dealer as well,

eh? lol

A succinct tutorial on the more common operations would be nice, but god

forbid haas would provide one. Hunted around a bit, have seen where others

have asked for this, as well, some dope referred them back to the haas site.

Brilliant.... unless I missed sumpn....

Congrats on the new Haas Kris.

But it's not yours until the last payment is mailed ;-).
Technically, it owns you now. I suggest you name her Audrey II.

There is a PDF set of operation and programming manuals on the Haas site. First, RTFM... as they say.

I've got a very nice Haas programming workbook, full of example code, from a FREE 8-week class I took at Suffolk Community College on Haas Mill G-Code programming. Part of a NYS funded workforce development program. Might just be a similar class at your local schools up in Yonkers.

Finally,if you can possibly get Mr. Mike Frabizio to come out for a few hours, I'm sure he could get you set up and going with your router. Last number I had for him was; 201-961-4713 or 631-589-8170. Well worth any fee he might charge.

For best text editor my vote is TECO. It's the tits.

Good luck.
