More new Haas issues.....
the -35 degree B axis is standard on all UMC.... not just the 500 where it appears if there WAS more travel it COULD collide with the probe, my UMC1000SS at work has the same limit with much larger enclosure + travels did you not look at the kinematics before purchasing or understand it?- daringwilliams

Compensating for spindle runout while calibrating OTS
I mean I cut all kinds of hard materials with odd conditions, like super thin walls one part none the next They all cut differently and need various wear settings / adjustments to work in the different situations you need them in.

Compensating for spindle runout while calibrating OTS
How are you measuring the spindle runout? If you follow the HAAS procedure for setting up the Spindle Probe, you absolutely WILL orient it properly prior to use and storage in the tool changer so recheck that, something like HAAS logo always pointing at you when loading, if you're not doing...- daringwilliams

I am...- daringwilliams

you maintain an online cache, and have a plan for downage, like ANY service my spindle(s) have run all day, zero issues. software is left running end of day to mitigate potential relogin issues either from onsite internet connectivity or a possible host downage Neither of my logged in systems...- daringwilliams

Can I get some advice on milling off a hat.
I don't want to tell you how to program, but 40% stepover @ nearly 3x feed @ that depth would probably work just fine, and be MUCH faster with nearly 5.8 Ci MRR vs .7 Ci MRR 1/2" endmill in 6061 with a rigid setup good tool will eat that up all day- daringwilliams

Can I get some advice on milling off a hat.
Tab the part in profile as last step of Setup1, smack it out with a hammer, only have a few cleanup areas and a facemill will bust through it Also as said before, do a 2D profile till you have removed the perimeter top hat, switch to facemill and bust it off real fast- daringwilliams
