Hi Guys,
just wondering if there was anyone on here that is using one of these Haas CNC lathes for barrel threading and chambering through the headstock, or muzzle threading only between centers?
Just looking at options to automate and speed up some of my gunsmithing tasks that are creating significant backlog here.
(Note: I do own a couple of other Fanuc-controlled CNC machines for parts manufacture, so this machine would be pretty much dedicated for gunsmithing/barrel work only.)
If anyone has used a later model HAAS TL lathe (that has the new frame design with the z-axis ball screw located between the linear guides, and not mounted off on the side of the machine) I would be interested in your feedback on how it all works for you.
Thanks, Dean.
