Buying a HAAS ST20Y CNC Lathe!

1. Is it possible to make a 3D cut like 3 axis mill with this machine by using live tool?

2. Nice machine..

3. Hey love your channel. I'm looking into buying the smaller version ST10Y, I'm just not sure if its the best machine for my applications. I make thousands of 1/4 x 1/4 x 2" aluminum parts that are very similar and I would think that this machine would be perfect for that but I've heard the live tooling holders wear down and are needed to be worked quiet frequently. I'd love to know how well this machine would do for something similar to my application. since the parts are so small I really cant justify spending the money for a horizontal mill with a pallet changer. if you have any insight I'd really appreciate it. Thanks for all your great videos.

4. how much is haas paying you for this
   ?

5. I bought a DS30Y and would love to see all the info you can provide. 🙂

6. John,
   Would love to see a video on how you set the tools using the tool setter..

7. ????

8. I wish the vps had milling templates for radial and axial milling, they only supplied drilling.

9. China China castings come from China sheet metal comes depends CX is from China the spindles are from Taiwan the pumps are from China the conveyor on that depends on which one you got they have a Taiwanese call from Kyra once again they're killing the American machinist and you're supporting this shame on you New York CNC but I guess if Paul is stealing from Peter to give to you I guess you're helping Paul to continue to steal from Peter thank you for supporting the American Machinist

10. I can only imagine how much a system like that costs, It would have to run 24/7 to cover the costs!

11. Got a new Okuma LB3000 EXII MYW. Went from a Yugo to a Lexus.

12. Check out a triple turret Eurotech. Mind blown

13. It seems live tooling is so expensive, that it's cheaper to buy a lathe and then buy a mill. This is what my boss was pretty much telling me. Then half the active tooling sits. We've been getting a part that would be sweet to have a active tooling lathe. Little bit of turning then milling some .020" through slots. Very small part. Then we have some SS 316 parts that get a 7/8ths hex on them, if I remember right.

14. How did you get around running the machine with door opened?

15. look at these cylindrical grinders,availables with hydrostatic carriages and hydrostatic screws,made in piedmont!

16. Brand new HAAS ST10 is worst decision I ever made. So far my machine has 20 days of downtime and 60 hours of cut time. Won’t change machine and want me to keep letting them fault find in my time and money. Will never buy another HAAS machine

17. I wish you success and lasting success

18. 0:44How much price

19. Hey John, waiting for your update on this new lathe …will you go through how to pick the tools and tips on this machine?

20. …and here I am just dreaming of being able to afford a beater cnc mill… 🙁

21. We don't call stick in manufacturing, it called steel or aluminium rod bar buddy

22. I would never buy a haas.

23. I am Jealous!!!

24. Hmmm, how comparable is a Haas machine with the big brands like DMG or Okuma?

25. If I am understanding this correctly the Y axis can move +/- 2”, so a part can be drilled radially or axially up to 2 inches off centerline ?

26. Nice video and nice lathe. (8:30–8:33) The finishing spindle has actually been available on Haas lathes for about 14 years (since about 2006) on the TL15 and TL25 lathes with finishing sub spindle and live tools, however Y axis was not available at that time.

27. beautiful machine

28. You've got a ton of comments but just in case you do see this: Heads up with the bar feeder/chuck combo you have. We have the same setup on 3 DS-30s. The spindle pushes forward when it's clamping and this can cause a bit of variability in the stick out length of your stock. 95% of the time it's off by a few thousands so it's insignificant but every once in a while it will come out too far, by 3/8 to 1/2 inch! When we first started about every 2 weeks we would crash or blow up a tool when facing and couldn't figure out what was going on. Now we keep a stop mounted in a tool holder on the turret and push against the stop every time it bar feeds. It's a work around but it beats the alternative. Just a heads up!

29. No more products for sale on your website?

30. ??

31. Capto tool holders are hands down the best in the business

32. John, can you please do a fusion Friday on dual spindle live tool programming? I have been trying to do it and hate the gcode fusion has been giving me

33. He has come a long way from his basement operation lol. I'm proud of what he has done.

34. I could have used that thing today. My refusal to purchase a lathe often results in my mill being used as a lathe with a cutter in the vise and the part in my spindle. Fusion 360 that.

35. Did you use fusion 360 to post the milling cut? If so what post did you use ? I can’t find a way to get it to post using the x and y for axial cuts.
