My haas is a 1996 and it shows. Attempting 0.1" engraving at 40ipm G187 E.001 doesn't work, and I think it is a control limitation. See two paths in this pic? aercon.net/Public/Engraving.jpg The top is attempted at 40 IPM, the bottom at 15. To me it looks like a trajectory planning limitation.
The only person to attempt a haas vf conversion never finished it.
