Hi,this is my first post, hope i’m in the right section. I’m out for a new machine for my workshop and have received quotes from 4 manufacturers at this time.
Im looking at a 3 axis high rapid machine, will run mostly aluminium but some steel and ss. There is a limited roof space where i want to put it so these are the models im looking at:
Haas DM-2
Fanuc robodrill D21MiB5
Brother Speedio S500
Mazak VC primos 400.
The brother and the Mazak is by far the most exensive of them, then the Fanuc and finally Haas. I live i Europe so Haas is more expensive here but still.
Does anyone have any experience with any of these machines? I like the larger envelope on the Haas but i dont want to buy something that breaks down all the time. I’m not running 24/7 but there can be some ball nose end mill finishing jobs that require 4-5 hours of constant machining.
Thanks
