Why???
I Love them!
I have ran a lot of mills; Okuma, Toyoda, Dah Li, Takumi, Awea, and Deckel Maho 5 Axis to name a few, and HAAS is my second favourite only to the DMG machines (which cost an arm and a leg, so how could you NOT like them? :p).
I've ran a Deckel Maho DMU 200P 5 axis mill worth about $1.25million and i am just as happy (happier even!) running a little HAAS TM1.
I love HAAS machines and i am Canadian. If i were to start a shop, my first mill would no doubt be a HAAS.
Why do some people consider them "junk"???
To me they are an excellent machine with an excellent controller and above all, EXCELLENT support. By comparison, i've seen DMG mills down for a week at a time because they don't have enough service tech's!!
