Any other options out there you guys know of or have used?
The specs on the Haas are literally perfect for me.
20 tools
30K RPM
12" x 10" x 12"
750ipm
5hp
Most importantly it's only 60" x 48" so I will be able to fit 3 of them in the shop down the road with a little wiggling and some grease. I need multiple spindles more than I need bigger travels, faster rapids, and tapping at a million rpm. I can fit 8 hours of run time in a 12 x 10" space and have a seemingly unending demand for these production parts. I've been running these on my TM2P which is NOT suited for this by any means, the 'roughing' tool is 0.02" finishing is 0.005" so my 6K rpm spindle is murder on my output.
Nice thing on the CM1 is it has all the needed features at $60K. Literally the ONLY thing I need to add is memory. Funny... my $37K TM2P cost me $60K after adding all the features I needed LOL.
Datron would be nice... but $ to output makes zero sense at those prices. I could buy 3 CM1s and beat the crap out of one Datron output for less money.
I just can't find any other options except D/T centers which really aren't designed for this. Before I go to my HFO this week I wanted to ask if I am missing some other options out there in the same price range or if ANYONE has run one of these. I have found NOTHING on the net except a terribly programmed and finished part video from IMTS.
The next gen control issues has me a little put off and there are NONE of these used. I have seen some OMs around but nothing that screamed 'good deal' vs just buying new.
