Hello All,
I am quite new to the cnc world, I have some limited experience with cnc wood routers, but zero experience with cnc milling machines. I am in need of the ability to prototype parts quickly, and a VMC will do the trick.
I am on a limited budget, so I am considering a used Haas TM-2P or a new Tormach 1100mx (Their new servo equipped machine).
I will be mainly prototyping aluminum and plastics parts. Occasionally I will be machining steel, stainless and titanium (Very rarely).
Here is some specs on the haas:
-$24000 USD price
-Year: 2011
-Run times:
-Servo Time 7357:21:44
-Motion Time 2329:49:20
-Spindle Time 1803:28:27
-Run Time 17351:51
-Tool Change Count 10851
-Machine is under power and can be inspected.
-Control updated in 2015.
-Machine is not used frequently, only used for special jobs.
-Seller is original owner and it was purchased new from Haas.
-Umbrella style tool changer
-Chip Auger
-6000 rpm spindle
Unfortunately I do not know anyone who is knowledgable on cnc machinery, so I am really hoping for some solid advice from the professionals on this forum as I am struggling to make a decision!
Thanks,
George
