Test 10 Videos
This unit covers the Haas Minimill machine and control panel general layout and modes of operation and display. Preliminary checks and the start up sequence is discussed. Loading tool holders and starting the machine spindle is described. We describe the orientation of the machine axes, and the methods for manually causing machine motion. After finishing these units the student will use the machine to finish mill the side of a workpiece.
