there is nothing wrong with Haas machines, they are good quality,easy to use and set up, have features that no other machines on the market have, and are used by Boeing,Honda F1,in various medial labs, etc etc, they dont sell 50 machines a month in the UK alone if thay are no good.
i using a fanuc too, and the add ons broke too! haha! but i thing it was that damn operator! And i dont know why but compared to the youtube videos i go a lot slower, if i go faster endmill breakes or something breaks, i work with die metals and all that kind of hard stuff, i dont know a lot about it, i just program the machine, im electronic engineer really :S! anyway, nice video!
now why did u put this on? i wouldnt ever buy a machine that came from a convicted crook, good job on your taxes mr.haas lmao, idk i think a maxnc or sherline has this 1 beat
Haas machines are beginner machines. They are easy to use, cheap and fast for how much they cost, but once you get experience and want to take some heavy cuts they rattle and fall apart. I've had more screws rattle out of the 2 VF-3s that we have. For now on it's Okuma and Mori Seki for us.
yeh, we bought it because it was cheap. all the add ons broke e.g positional coolant, chip auger, air gun etc. once the crap fell off the rest was fine. i'm using a fanuc t14 ibl and hermle c600u along with the haas.
only feature i didnt like was the non linear rapids, only noticed it when cutting in a deep prototype tool. not sure if that was a vm quirk. solidly built machine - esp compared to a hermle c600 we had

its a haas vm2 mold maker, uses just normal haas control (uses g codes), use vero and worknc for the programming :)

Interesting - what kind of machine is this and what's the control?
