Tool offsets are typically set by the automatic tool setter, but you may need to dial in normal wear and tear on the tool to achieve and maintain very accurate parts.

=== [[Threading (Haas ST-15Y)|Threading]] ===
Excellent quality threads can be made on the lathe, but it is a little involved compared to simply running a tap through a hole. This page will guide you through some of the maths requried to create excellent threads using single-point cutting tools.
=== [[Making Accurate Parts (Haas ST-15Y)|Making Accurate Parts]] ===
A lot of the time the part that comes straight off the machine is good enough - use the techniques here to help ensure your parts are in tolerance and to help with keeping the tighter tolerances in check. 
=== [[Troubleshooting (Haas ST-15Y)|Troubleshooting]] ===
A few issues crop up repeatedly. If you're having trouble with the lathe check this page to see if it's something we've come across before.

You may need to use the tailstock to support long bars (as above, [[Centres and Centre Drilling (Haas ST-15Y)|with a centre]]) It is a hybrid manual-hydraulic design which needs adjustment for each job.
