Does anyone here have this option? I wonder if since the table is 3” thinner than the stock stable how much that would effect rigidity?
This is a sub question that plays into the extended z and why I’m asking the question above. The castings I will be working with,the largest one is 13” tall and has a surface that needs to be machined about 5” deep but that’s actually giving a little room for error. So that’s 18” needed in a perfect world but I know that the tool arm drops down to switch tooling and I’m sure there are other factors like the holder flange.
I’m ordering either a VF3ssyt, vf4ss or vf5ss but by the Haas calculator says I need a vf6 and that’s out of the question. So if I had the ext z/low pro table it should have enough clearance to do it? Hell it might do it without but I’m not familiar enough to make that decision. This is my last question I have that will help me choosing options and machine size.
