Looking to move into an industrial machine, and looking for the right machine for the job. Seeking people smarter than I to help guide me.

Haas is BY FAR, the easiest to learn.

So you're a teacher eh?

How does teaching somebody how to run a Haas CNC mill differ from teaching someone how to use any other CNC mill?

I've taught multiple employees how to run my machines and have never had much difficulty with Haas, Fanuc, Mitsubishi, etc.

Easy to use IMO, is whatever one learns on. I got stuck in front of a Fadal after having 10 years of Fanuc, Yasnac, and Okuma experience and it was an awkward and frustrating control to try to learn.

Does anyone have experience with mid-late 90's Mighty Comet VMCs? One of my neighbors has a business making molds and they just got a new Doosan and have a Mighty Comet (not sure what model yet) they're wanting to rehome. I think those use a Mitsubishi controller, and I know little about that brand machine/controller, but curious if anyone has positive or negative experience.

Cheers, all!
