Hi,
Currently we are running late 90's Japan CNC mills, but want to move over to the new machines to eliminate the downtime if something goes wrong and to increase the production volumes and overall product quality.
Im looking for a new Haas VF3 because of its price and lease options and i have seen that machine in the showroom milling steel and i was really impressed .
Mainly we machine small aluminum parts like 50-100mm of the longest sides, but having the jobs also for steel parts and molds, and the reason i have choosen VF3 over VF2 is in the rigidity of the VF3, at least, i suppose so, because its weight is around 60-70% more. However, we do not have parts more than 400x400mm in sizes.
So guys are there any possible issues with that machines after couple years of expluatation utilizing high speed milling? Are there any issues with spindles in long terms? I hope that while machine is new everything will be ok, and i fit the tolerances of 0,01-0,02mm (around 0,0005inches)
