 ===== About ===== ===== About =====
  
-The Haas Super Mini Mill is a CNC milling machine. Parts can be modeled in SOLIDWORKS and then toolpaths are programmed through an HSM add-in that generates G-code for the machine to read. The Haas can read  G-code and .EGC files. +The Haas Super Mini Mill is a CNC milling machine. Parts can be modeled in SOLIDWORKS and then toolpaths are programmed through an HSM add-in that generates G-code for the machine to read. The Haas can read  G-code and .EGC files. ** Due to its complexity, we do not offer regular training for this tool.** If you just need it for a few parts, please use our [[https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeQZ5JnKzOf-UZA0yWZ1XwLGQjmtgyEOFxxHWpZWUUIa8OxcA/viewform|Job Submission Google Form]] and we will machine them for you. If you believe you have a strong need to use this tool, please contact the lab manager.

 +===== Safety Concerns ===== 
 +  * Safety Glasses must be worn when machine is running 
 +  * The glass doors must be in closed before starting a job 
 +  * The spindle must be completely stopped before adjusting or removing work piece or tool 
 +  * After milling is completed, the work piece will have developed sharp burrs which must be removed with a hand file or sandpaper 
 +  * Proof your program before running it. The first time you run it, slow the rapid speed and stay by the control panel. It is a good idea to use single block mode the first time you run your program.

-===== Operating Procedures ===== 
-  - Program tool paths using a SOLIDWORKS add-in 
-  - Put tools in tool holders 
-  - Set tool offsets using tool probe 
-  - Set fixture offset(s) with touch probe (usually G54) 
-  - Load program 
-  - Check that tool numbers in program match tools in machine 
-  - Check that appropriate fixture offset is loaded 
-  - Load stock in the machine 
-  - Proof the part (test the program with air cuts). One easy way to do this is to add a height to the G54 Z value sufficient to make sure that all cuts will be above the top of the part surface. 
-  - Use rapid and feed override at the beginning of the program to make sure that the initial Z axis moves are safe. You can also use single block mode 
-  - Keep your hand close to the emergency stop in case the program doesn’t do what you expect. 
-  - Reset G54 to the correct value. 
-  - Run the program for the first time - follow the precautions in step 10 to make sure that nothing unexpected happens. You can adjust the feed rate override as needed.
