We need a CNC lathe programmer!!!!!

[Jim F]

Last day and half was running our Haas ST-25Y, mat'l was 11/16 12L14 hex, length 4.35 or so.
M16x2 threads on each end, .392 dia in middle with a small hex stock size.
Took 5.3 min per cycle....................
size reduction from .628 to the .392 took 9 f-ing passes.........

My 1/3 hp SB 9C, I can dial in .050 on the compound in 1018 with a worn and stretched leather belt, with no problem.......

Who is programming now? They should be able to tweak the program.

Spends more time getting fans and stools in place, than making parts.....

I only know about adjusting offsets, never learned programming.
I am just a button pusher on CNC.
