Facing Facing is performed to flatten the end of the stock, or trim the work-piece to length. With the HAAS TL-1, this procedure starts the tool on the outside of the work-piece and moves it in towards the center. It then brings the tool away from the work-piece, returns to the outside, and repeats the procedure until the desired amount has been trimmed. |
 1. Start from the "SYSTEM" mode. Details on Start-Up & Manual Mode Page. 2. Select the "Turn & Face" tab, and then the "FACE" tab as shown in "Programming Procedures: Basics". |
