I trial the Haas CNC in beginner mode. I test the Haas VPS (Visual Programming System); it's terrible. Thank you for your help making these vids, I couldn't do it without your beer fund. Early access here http://www.Patreon.com/AvE

I miss the ips. Got a TL-1 and TM-1 at work. They came with with vps 💀
There user Manuel is bullshit….the page numbers, don't match the content
I would never waste my time programming at a machine
The way you talk shop is hilarious, I was hooked instantly. Followed by a surprising classy music.
I own a 2 year old Haas VF-2YT fully loaded and an older Tormach PCNC 1100 running Pathpilot. What Haas calls VPS …Tormach calls it "Conversational" . The Pathpilot "Conversational" l is excellent, very simple to use and very intuitive, once you try it you'll learn to hate everything else. I tried using the Haas VPS a couple of times and my blood pressure went up …what a piece of shit. I read lot's of comments indicating how good the Haas VPS is compared to other brands…if that is so I would hate to try use the other brands. The 2 machines I mentioned are different machines for different purposes and certainly have a different price range…but the cheaper Tormach user interface beats Haas NGC any day of the week. PS… I don't endorse any of these 2 brands…they both have their good and bad things.
I've never ran a haas and will have the opportunity to soon. Are there any videos for vps programming on a mill. All I see are lathe videos. And I'm unfamiliar with haas control and menus. I have nearly a decade of mill setup and programming experience just none with a haas.
I've never seen an endmill touched off while the spindle was turning, is this some new technology that allows them to be touched off by a proximity sensor or just a fuck-up on his part?
Reason for conventional milling the ends? You're commentary is hilarious keep it up lol
Nice video. I wouldn’t even know where to begin when I comes to 5axis machining. 3axis and 6 sides here. Let me know if it’s easy to get a hang of
I have a Prototrak that uses conversational and you can’t beat it. This VPS on the new Haas DM-2 we just got sucks. The facing program worked fine the first time I ran it then started ramping down on each pass it made the next time I ran it. The VPS tool probing cycle started faulting out yet it still put a value in my tool length offset. Somehow it just copied over the estimated tool length column. Glad I caught that. Like you say, if you can’t fucking trust it, you can’t use it.
As near as I can tell, Haas haven’t even done a VPS tutorial for the mill. We just got a new DM-2 and I’m learning the control. Prototrak is the undisputed king of conversational programming. I have a DPM in my home shop and for most simple stuff like that hole pattern, I can be making chips before you can get your computer booted up and your CAM open. Not saying it’s better, no tool changer, slow spindle, and chips fly everywhere but for a 40 year old machine it’s surprisingly useful and user friendly. If I was starting a small job shop, say something in a garage at home, I’d definitely start with a Prototrak. Maybe one a little newer because 3.5" floppies are kinda hard to deal with. Most stuff that walks in the door can be done on one.
Bro you are so full of crap. Haas is easily the best machine from vps to finished part. Even better than Mazak. Also before anyone says something I am a CNC Programmer not just an operator.
I have a Haas mini mill2 and you are right the VPS is NFG! I program everything off line with cad cam system have no problem with that!!!
