Fadal vmc15 alternatives?
A Fadal VMC15 XT weighs in at around 6500lbs. A used Haas you could find but good luck finding parts for an older one and any kind of support. Fadal parts are still available and has a big following. I have seen FADALS going up in price as hobby folks are stepping up to the bigger machines. The...- Ballistic42

Fadal vmc15 alternatives?
What it’s worth the Fadal VMC15 XT would be a good machine but be prepared to do some work on one. I have found there is not perfect one for cheap. Do yourself a favor and take way covers off to inspect the rails. I found a cracked bearing truck on my Z axis which lead to even bigger issues. Jeff- Ballistic42

Well have not posted in a while as I have been busy putting machine back together. Here are a few more pics. I just about have it all done.

FADAL VMC15 XT Rebuild
Started taking off the left side rail to prepare to put the new one side on. Makes me a little nervous as have never done this before. With a precision dial indicator should not be a problem. Put the new one on the left dial it in to the old one on the right. Once I get the left one dialed and...- Ballistic42

When I got the machine in my shop and took the motor cover off it looked like someone coated it in oil let...- Ballistic42
