Haas Machining Guides

-


When I was a student at Cal Poly I created tutorials for how to operate the Haas machines in our student labs. They are a bit outdated but are a good starting point for any machinist or student new to Haas machines or CNC machines in general.

They are available to download as a PDF from my google drive account. Just click the download button.

This lack of an adapter made me think, "Why not 3D print a few of my own?"

Crankset and chainrings ready for dinglespeed install. Singlespeed bikes are great but lack in versatility. Gear them low for climbing up a mountain or gear them high for top speed. You can't have both. I often found myself wishing for a two speed bike. A high speed for riding across town and a low speed for the trails. The trick is having those two speeds without using a chain tensioner or derailleur. The answer was dinglespeed.
