Have you considered playing with the electrical box in back of the machine with a screwdriver?

And if you need a little excitement when you get home, you can always use the hairdryer in the bathtub! I hear they've got a bilingual warning label on hairdryers these days, and one with extra-large type and pictures for the blondes!

He is Canadian so He prolly does use a Hair Dryer.

But they have different Electricity up there...I think it's metric.

HAHA that must be the VPN ip lol.

I'm very close to canada but not there. No way you could pay me any amount of money to live in canada eh!

My 2nd week at this place
I programmed a part called a volute.. following the examples from other proven volute programs

a volute is a 3500 pound cast steel part with a large cross hole through one side making it terribly unbalanced.

I programmed it at a constant surface feet of 450 sfm and a 100 rpm spindle clamp (G50 s100)

The first toolpath rapided to an Ø8" ID with a Ø4" boring bar.

I was sitting at my desk and heard a noise  like a jet turbine winding up, followed by a series of large bangs.

My monitors were bouncing up and down on my desk during all this.

The crusty old Swedish operator did not know what G50 S100 was and had zero tolerance for FNG programmers
and the machine was less than 2 weeks old.
He had  deleted the G50 S100 LINE line and left the 450 CSF spindle speed alone.

The turbine whine I heard was the machine winding up to it's max rpm of 400, at which point the 3500 pound steel
casting came loose and blasted through the door spinning at 400 rpm.

Had the operator been a half step slower it would have killed him. Instead, he escaped with 65 stiches in his ass
as the part clipped him going by.

The spinning part destroyed a large steel cabinet full of CAT50 holders, bounced off that, destroyed the coolant tank
of a nearby HBM, then slammed into the back of a small VTL. It sheared all the  lag bolts anchoring the machine and
moved it about a foot. That stopped it.

Had it missed the VTL it would have ended up in the employee parking lot smashing cars.

I figured I was fired, but the GM, myself and the operator looked through the program in the control and I noticed the G50 S100 was missing. The operator admitted that he had deleted that line and I was told to go back to work.

Between his ass and the mental trauma, the operator was out on leave of absence for 6 months.
He came back to work, worked half a shift and left for another three months.
When he came back, he worked another 10 years then retired.

Throwing something off a Blanchard grinder raises the heart rate significantly!

We used to do a job here on a blanchard. They were about 1-1/4" dia X 1-1/4" tall pieces. You could fit a lot of them on the blanchard table. Like a least 50. One time someone forgot to turn the magnet on & brought the stones down onto the parts. Sounded like a machine gun going off. Fortunately because of the direction of the rotating stones it threw the parts to the back of the machine. Needless to say after changing his underwear that operator never forgot to turn the magnet on again.

My dirty underwear moment came early on in my career. I was getting trained on a lathe (I believe Monarch was the brand, yes they at one point produced CNC's) The machine had a 10" chuck, 3000 max rpm. The guy doing the training chucked up on a piece of 6" round steel about 6" long, and it was doing a facing cut and I had my face right in the window. Right about the time it reached max RPM the chuck decided to let go. When the the dust settled and we opened the door the turret was noticeably out of alignment, like about 30 degrees out. The crash sheared off every bolt holding the turret, except for one. Root cause of that crash was when the machine left the factory the drawtube wasn't tightened. In fact, it was only holding on by a few threads.

Ok new plan. I buy a used VTL and start drinking....

On A FANUC 0i, 16, 18, 21, 30, 31, 32,, etc...

O9005 (PARAM 6075 = 3)

One way to handle it.

When M3 is called it won't let the spindle start if T1 is in the spindle.

I don't think i have access to my tool change macro on the classic hass control.

Anoter way if you need to spin the probe.

Haas...

They have max rpm for tools in their tool manager don't they? 

Sorry I'm Haas ignorant. I know next to nothing about them.

Just checked to make sure and no there is no max rpm. There is a tool type, which was set to probe, but apparently that has no effect of the tools max rpm. Good job haas!

Ok Call me Stupid. But you actually have to fat finger more than two options to spin.

MDI G55 Xo Yo.

Maybe you can bitch that the button design in closeness caused it.

I'm not blaming.

Jus sayin it takes a few more presses to send it into Hyperspace.

Hass is a fairly simple machine. Mill or Lathe.

Trust me I have Blown up more than you.

But No one can definitively prove it.

I have an open account with Inter rapid.

[Zoffen]

Probably going to 3d print some sort of finger dam/wall thing that you have to reach into to press the button.

Safety is no accident!
