    Haas barfeeder problems, Wrong initial push.

    Doosan VMC vs Haas VMC

    Definitely, Just started looking at doosan over Haas. I have a VF9 that we bought through spindle air blast for and it still doesnt work, its been 18 months, and our ST15 we just bought has paint peeling on the inside. I feel like they have really cheapened in the last couple years.

    Doosan VMC vs Haas VMC

    Im talking about 2019 and 2020 machines. Its something they just started doing. there most recent update eliminated the ability to run the spindle at all with the door open. Also with the pendant you can only use the click jog and not the variable speed rapid with the door open.

    Doosan VMC vs Haas VMC

    The last 2 I bought you cant turn the spindle or the auger on with the door open. You have older software in yours. Dont let them upgrade it.

    I have a 2019 vf9 with through tool air blast, It has never really worked since day one, The local HFO has tried everything they can to fix it but no success, their hands are tied with Haas now.
