    That's all I learned on was haas and one fadal mill

    Went in for my interview and hands on test and had a cnc mill infront of me with farnuc controls and I was totally lost, but I figured it out after a crash corse from the floor man

    Haas controls are very similar to fanuc. Once you figure out fanuc, it's actually very easy to program. I ran a mazack at a different job once. It was awful. I did not like it at all.

    We programed the lathes using a can cycle. G71 for turning in the z-axis and G72 for facing in the x-axis.

    congrats on the job. Machinist field is what I've been in since 1980. I have been a CNC programmer and developer since 1990. If you ever have a question about it give me a hollar. I've run all kinds of machines and then went into a long time stent of the desktop side of the job. I work at Bell Helicopter in Grand Prairie, they take really good care of us there.
