I got a quote for a Brother S700 and S500...the 500 was only $1,000 less! I thought it was a mistake! I went to the Haas website and the price difference between a VF1 and VF2 is only like $2,500. I just never knew!
I believe it because I imagine the main difference is shorter ball screws, a few pounds less of sheet metal, and a somewhat smaller table. I suppose I guess I could see how the COST to manufacture the machine is only slightly less but I just would have thought they would HAVE to either charge less for the 500 or more for the 700 from a value perspective. But what do I know!
I guess I’m just surprised!
