So I take it you need more y? ( I'm shocked I actually remember the numbers pretty damn close after months)

Ok Machinists, My boss just told me to start looking for a mill.
I am partial to the Haas VF 2 but am open to any recomendations.
Thanks v-drive
If you don't need accuracy and repeat ability the haas will do and it will help Gene to pay for his lawyer.:jawdrop:
Ever looked at a Makino?

I am doing some plate work and I have to rotate the part 180 deg and machine a single hole because it is over the travel of the Y axis.
1/16 of an inch more travel and I would be able to do it.
I saved 3 or 4K not getting a VF5, I caught "two footer" syndrome two weeks after I took delivery of the machine.

Ah, more toys for the toy shop Tell Tony that Brian and I need a key to the shop. If he tell you no, just let him know I will be inheriting all of those tools in there one day, which kind of makes them mine, right? So all kidding aside, what are you making my boat for Christmas?

Funny man,We are probably going to re-design the whole shop. We are considering taking a wall out and taking over the stockroom, moving the conventional equipment in there and making the existing side all cnc. pop
