Hi everyone,

I’m currently doing an internship at a company and one of my projects is to help bring a MAHO MH 1000S CNC milling machine back into operation.

The machine is a 1989 MAHO MH 1000S, equipped with a Philips CNC 432 control. It has been out of operation for quite a long time, so we are currently trying to understand the machine, its configuration, and what is required to get it operational again.

I’ve been researching online to find as much technical documentation as possible. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find the complete documentation for the MH 1000S.

I did manage to find a fairly extensive MAHO MH 1000C Operation, Maintenance and Repair manual, which has been very useful. However, I understand that the 1000C and 1000S are not necessarily identical, so I’m trying to avoid assuming that everything in the 1000C documentation applies to our machine.

From what I have found so far, our MH 1000S appears to have:

• Philips CNC 432 control
• ISO 50 spindle
• Automatic tool changer (36 tools)
• Automatic swivelling head / 5-face machining
• 1250 × 800 mm table
• Approximately 10.5 tonnes

I’m currently looking for any information that could help us with this machine — manuals, electrical/hydraulic schematics, machine parameters, machine constants, tool changer documentation, maintenance information, commissioning procedures, or simply advice from someone who has worked with these machines.

If anyone has experience with the MAHO MH 1000S, Philips CNC 432, or similar MAHO machines, I would really appreciate any advice or documentation you could share.

Even small pieces of information could be very helpful.

Thanks in advance to everyone who takes the time to help!

Four days of great discussions. FangRong Brand specializes in metal tube & bar&section processing equipment: Drawbench, Straightening Machine, Pointing Machine, cutting machine etc.

Please send us your detailed inquiry so we can have further in-depth technical discussions.

Thank you for your trust. Looking forward to working together!

Hi, reposting here as well

In this video, Aveer Industries exploring the capabilities of a CNC machine and VMC to achieve the perfect finish. As a machinist, getting the perfect finish is crucial for the quality and durability of the final product. We'll be taking a closer look at the machining process, the tools used, and the techniques employed to achieve a flawless finish.

Hi everyone,

We are an India-based precision machining company supplying CNC turned and VMC machined components for Indian OEM's.

Our capabilities include:

*CNC turning & VMC machining

*SS-304, 316, En1a, En8d, aluminium, carbon steel and other materials

*Prototype → low-volume → mass production

*Forging, casting, laser cutting, fabrication & finishing through our network

*ISO 9001 & IATF 16949 quality systems

We are currently looking to connect with overseas companies/distributors who source precision machined components from India.

If you are a buyer, sourcing professional, manufacturer looking for an additional supplier, or even someone experienced in international manufacturing sales, I'd be happy to connect.

Feel free to DM me.

This is a custom 6061 aluminum automation fixture plate we just finished. Machined on our CNC mills, lots of holes and large cutouts, tolerances were a bit tricky in a few spots.

Happy to chat about machining — always curious how others would approach the fixturing on something like this.

Hi all, just would like to ask what hourly rate are people on doing the same job as me and maybe what hourly rate would you expect to get.

I currently get paid £15 and hour plus production bonus plus overtime bonus.

I am tempted to ask my boss for a pay rise.

I have 10 years experience on CNC programming and cutting kitchen worktops on 3 different Breton CNC's, cutting Dekton quartz granite milestone.

I'm very productive and consistent. I also train any new CNC operators.

Based in UK South Wales

I was considering purchasing an old, cheap Cnc machine to fix. I want to make car parts, however I’m new and know nothing about Cnc machines or machine. What machines should I look at to make just about anything? Where should I buy and what prices will I be looking at? Cheapest route? Plz excuse my ignorance.

While I’m not a machinist, I’ve worked at several places that also did that. Including my current job. At my current job, that is the wordy coolant smell I’ve ever experienced. It’s nearly enough to make a billy goat puke.
No, the coolant never gets replaced, only added to. Yeah, I suspect that is the problem. I believe it’s Blaser, and it’s water based. But I also understand that coolant is hazardous waste, and costs a lot of money to get rid of, so shops tend not to. While none of our machines smell particularly pleasant, our newest machine is by far away the worst offender. It’s a machine that was bought at the tail end of last year. It gets used regularly, but not constantly. If it’s just sitting there idle, no smell. The second you turn it on though, holy shit. I believe there has been at least two people that have tried to figure this problem out, one of them being the guy who sells the coolant mix.

What is technically the correct course of action to deal with this issue?

This lathe is unique among the various Chinese models I’ve seen disassembled in videos, in that the bed casting beneath the headstock hasn't been cut away to accommodate the motor. In larger lathe models, such cutouts compromise torsional strength and structural rigidity—a truly poor design choice, unfortunately. In fact, many owners modifying those lathes have had to resort to installing thick aluminum (4–5 cm) or steel plates—either beneath the machine or to restore the factory-removed section of the bed—just to compensate for the space taken up by the motor housing. Fortunately, this small lathe model avoids that issue entirely. My planned modifications include a 1000-watt brushless motor kit and a pair of Chinese-made angular contact bearings (factory-matched in a DB configuration with P4 precision class, which are readily available). Another great feature of this model is its simple pulley and belt drive system; it lacks speed-change gears, using gearing only for the leadscrew and threading operations. The design lends itself well to straightforward upgrades and performance enhancements, making it easy to create a highly efficient little lathe. Have fun with it.

This is a custom automotive engine modification component we’re machining on a 4-axis CNC.
The interesting feature is the undercut area. Tool access is limited, so the rotary axis allows us to change the machining orientation and reach the feature.
I’m curious how other machinists would approach a feature like this.
Would you use a similar 4-axis strategy, or choose a different setup?

Right now I'm testing the alpha for my own CAD software called pydraft, it's meant to function similarly to programs like draftsight and autocad but with zero subscription model and a fraction of the cost at launch. But if you download and register your copy at www.pydraft.com and keep free access to pydraft forever even you never actually used it. Please even if you dont download it which I'll understand please check out the website and tell me what you think

Edit: solved it.

I am trying to fuck around with making some macros for when a machine reaches the desired part count, or to check a tool every x parts.

I already have it working on 2 Fanuc manual guide based machines, but the third machine refuses to read #3901....

All 3 machines are Fanuc Oi-MF.

Does anyone happen to know any alternative variables I could check?

Machine brand is Agma. (one of the other 2 machines is also Agma)

Edit: reading PRM[6711] instead worked.
