Spindle speed 4,000 RPM. Radid and FR 200 IPM. If you are only making 1 to 10 pieces, WHO CARES.
Someone on another site can tell you how to increase the spindle speed, but I'm not sure about the rapids. Don't do it though till your warrantee expires though.
My TM1 had everything you listed plus a 5C 4th axis. I really wanted to bring it home after my heart surgery, but my wife thought she had to keep her CAR in the garage and there wasn't room for both.
When will women learn that garages aren't for cars, THEY ARE FOR STUFF.
I am in the market now for another one. I am looking for a TM1 or TM2 with no tool changer. My thinking is, "for $7,200.00 I can change the tool a lot of times by hand". I work by myself and like you I only do 1 to 10 pieces. My business card says "ONE TO TEN PIECES IS OUR SPECIALTY". I'll take 25 pieces, but I'll turn down 26 or more.
I race gasoline powered model boats and I have a line of hardware I make for them. I am working in my garage right now, and I can't make them fast enough. Some parts, I make in lots of 25, but I make a few in 100 piece lots. When I do the 100 piece lots, I run them all at once to get them done, then I don't run them again for 6 months or so.
I used to cut all kinds of material on my TM1. I even did some inconel 718 jobs. Just use small cutters so if anything goes wrong, you break the cutter not the spindle. A 3/8 cutter is $30.00. A spindle is $4,500.00.
The TM1 or TM2, even the TM3 are wonderful machines. And after the way I was treated by Haas when I had to send mine back, I would buy another one in a heart beat if I were to buy another new one.
Haas had agreed to add the payments I missed after my heart surgery to the end of the contract (I would have missed about 6 payments). But when I sent it back, I still owed a little more than $14,000.00 on the machine. They sold it for $22,000.00, took a $2,000.00 commission from the $22,000.00 and sent me the rest (almost $6,000.00).
If you use the Haas toolroom mills for what are meant to be used for meant for, there isn't a machine out there that will beat them.
Last year at Westec I was almost talked in to a machine that was a Bridgeport style knee mill, but then I realized the Haas has something the Bridgeport doesn't. Sixteen inches of Z travel. What do you do if you have a Bridgeport style machine with 5 inches of Z travel and you get a job that has holes that are 7 inches deep? You're screwed.
