Hello,
I am looking at and would like to purchase a Haas TM-1p. The problem that I have is they list the machine's max height at 105". My shop/basement has an unfinished ceiling at 93" and 102" if I go up and between the joists.
Looking at the layout drawings, it looks like I could get the room I need by modifying the feet and framing out the joists for an area large enough for the Z axis and cabling.
Has anyone had the same problem and does anyone see a problem with modifying the feet? Also, I realize that would need to tilt the machine to feed it into its home and have the equipment to do so, but I am not sure about attachment points or any other issues with tilting the machine.
Thanks, Tom
