Hi,
I have contact with my local HFO regarding a new VF-2SS stocked in EU for fast delivery times. The Haas website says that the machine installation cost is included in the price for these EU stocked machines. I've added three extra options (renishaw probe, jog handle and automatic coolant refill) and the machine installation cost quoted is above $3000 (rigging, shipping, export package, transport insurance, etc are quoted on other lines).
I've read that it just takes a day for one guy to install a whole VF2 so the amount doesn't feel reasonable. Adding the MQL & auto-air gun options would add another $900 to the installation cost. Is this normal?
We are a group of people in wheelchair who are building a servo assisted exoskeleton prototype and I'm responsible for the mechanical part of the project, as we are all contributing to fund this machine I want to be sure we're not getting screwed. Right now I have a bad feeling, even though the salesman is aware of the project and has said that the installation price is lower than normal and can't go lower.
Would really appreciate some feedback from the community.
Thanks
