I really don't care for Haas mills, particularly because they lack a lot in the way of rigidity (recirculating ball guides are to blame). For a little more a Milltronics machine with roller guides would be better- and have a PC-based control.
@douro20 I've been told Mori Seiki mills were better than Haas VMCs. Having said that, I run a Haas mill , no experience with Mori except for old chuckers. What's the deal?
good god man. have you not seen the new mori seki lathes and mills?they are amazing, and tolerances along with tooling touch off is the among the best.
I love the haas control, but that is about it when it comes to high tolerances.
with that kind of equipment you should just make your own damn heads. from scratch

All the programming for our CNC head programs, is done with Mastercam X3. All modeling is also done in MastercamX3.

Kind of bizarre seeing a Five axis CNC working on a VW beetle head designed in the thirties:)
