Use What You Have

Use what you have, 10 years ago my big gripe with companies when I was looking at increasing productivity and improving production methods, was that there was little investment in new technologies.

I think that now things are a bit different, although there is still room for improvement.

Being the grumpy old, ageing, failed, rock star that I am, my moan now is that the technologies that people have invested in are not being used to the maximum capabilities.

These are some of my suggestions and your MD will love the fact that they all cost little or no money:

(1) Read the manuals on your CNC machine just the first few pages (not the boring health and safety shit, the next bit) bet you will learn something you didn’t know.

Maybe there are a few little gaps in your basic knowledge of CNC Programming?

(2) Now, about that probe in the carousel (covered in swarf and coolant) that no one knows how to use. Learn to use it. Come on there are loads of idiots like me posting free videos on this stuff. Once you use one I will guarantee you will never go back.

(3) Use What You Have and check out the settings on your Haas machine (I can always get people excited about what these can do) look at the Haas tips n tricks page on their website (you will learn loads of stuff to impress your mates, not at the pub though please.

(4) Make sure you are using the latest version of Edgecam (or your chosen CAM system). Edgecam and all software is evolving rapidly and you’re really missing out. Oh and if you have a maintenance contract check it out there is all sorts of free stuff (like training and user meetings).

(5) Try to make a point of learning something new every day. (I am 86 and I still do) write them all in a book so you can look back.
