Short Version:
HFO can hold a paid-in-full VF-3SS as ransom for non-Haas issue.
tl;dr version:
I was talking to a friend that owns a medium sized machine shop in NorCal.
He has about 10 Haas CNC'S and a few other brands, all 2014+
He said he has a dispute about the value of a non-Haas machine he traded in to buy another non-Haas machine the HFO sells. The Machine tool dealer does not want to credit the full amount they agreed on on the trade-in contract.
Recently one of his Haas CNC mills (all of which are 100% paid for) had a dead battery, so he had a Tech Guy replace it and call the HFO to get its activation code.
The dealer is refusing to give it to him, stating this is now leverage with the owner to get the other issue resolved.
So buyer beware, if your HFO Dealer sells you other brand machines or equipment,all of your Haas's are at risk in a dispute.
