[pcasanova]

2 new mills - ec-400 horizontal w/pallet pool and a vf3ssy with a midaco 4 pallet (on its way) , and a mitotoyo mistar555 cmm. after years of pitching the automation and new process
to make our primary product management finally caved. Taking the process from 6 setups to 2. Thru spindle coolant, extra filters, auto coolant refill, probing. Trying to make
a hands off let the machines run lights out. yea I know it Haas, but we have like 20 vf1s that have ran pretty well so track record has been pretty good. Should be powered up next week and haas the following week. gonna be a busy few months until I can hand the keys off to production

Surprised you went with an auger instead of quad augers and a chip conveyor on your vf3

I bet having 20 of their machines and also being local helps with getting good support. Congrats! sounds like an exciting project!
