PBMW story is, well a horror story.
I have a 2006 SL-20, also a newer SL-10. Both bought new.
It's a Haas so power is short on both, but it is something I make up for in speed (AKA- extra cuts )
Holding better then .0004 is not a Haas strenght either, you will chase those tight tolerance jobs.
I had two quirks with machine, first was a software issue. In Dry Run /Single Block mode, if you rapid index the turret the machine would alarm out. After the turret was pulled, motors checked and every other thing the service tech could think of he called the factory. They came up with a great fix...don't rapid index in Single Block / Dry Runs. Worked perfect.
Second issue was a bad limit switch screwing up the home position.
Other then that it runs well with little issue...
oh, almost forgot three things...coolant pump took a dump.
All in all the machines do what I need them to do...make money (good parts) for me everyday. Unlike PBMW, Haas service around here is excellent. That is another huge factor in my purchase of there machines. If I had service like he did I would not have another of their machines here.
