It's the 355 model and the supply is 150amps dedicated with 125amp breaker on it to phase converter and was all installed by an electrician . The "haas power" is a joke because anybody who has one...

The supply is 240V. Yes the machine says 30hp on it but its "Haas Power" and not really. The phase convert can handle 280amps overload for 4 secs and 64 amps continuous which was well within actual...

I'm having the exact same problem on my VF-2SSYT as well and a 355 Perfect phase but on a 240V machine. I thought at first maybe it was the LEDS but I got replacement lights and same problem. Then I...

Yes, it was pretty much just one year ago in December I decided I was going to buy my machine because they were running 10% off. Then just a few months later pretty much all their VF machines got a...

You probably should ask the HFO to get more definite answers, but My Haas VF-2SSYT uses ball type linear guides and I think they were 35mm at least on the Z axis. The ballscrews on the SS machine...

Yes the Haas people are good. As for the rotary it will all come down to the parts and quantity you want to make. What do you want to make? I have only made a few parts that I wish I had a rotary to...

Congrats Herrmc on your purchase, I got a VF-2SSYT in my garage here too. I paid 1800 USD for rigging from a company that was "certified" by my HFO I have a long, sloped drive way and it was a very...

Motoeng,

I cant answer whether it makes more sense to buy your own machine or not as it really depends on your vision for your business. I own a Tormach 1100 and a Haas VF-2SSYT. If you are just...

Well those are the specs from installation manual. In my experience, the reps of all companies seem to be afraid to make clean cut recommendations probably because of liability. It just seems that...

Yes I suppose for certain specific applications it may be worth it to some users.

I have used them before in other machines and automation equipment including routers. Very great performance with very high accelerations which is very beneficial for 3d machining. The cost/benefit...

Take some pictures and post it so people can look at it or even send it to Tormach and ask for advise.

I would buy the Tormach. I can't imagine competing with a manual mill. Without power draw bar on a 1100, you really don't need to bang on the draw bar to release collets. With that said I would still...

You pay for quality. I run Kerk leadscrews and their VHD series nuts on a few of my machines with great performance. They are more expensive than Chinese ball screws but are made for industry....

I had seen a picture where someone moved the whole panel outside of their machine and mounted it on their enclosure. I had assumed for the longest time that they sold some extension kit of some kind....

What brand height gage are you using?

The paper method may not be hard but very annoying for me, and risks chipping the tool. I use a height gage to measure my tools and the convenience and speed is worth the price for me. I have other...

The superfly. I bought it because of all the hype. I used it several times before I setup My lovejoy Facemill with TTS. I never use the superfly anymore.

I use a mitutoyo and starett edge finder with good results. I'm planning on getting the Haimer eventually after I get a power draw bar.

I wonder if this problem will effect an 1100? Anyone else have this issue on their 440? So to clarify, the problem seems related to the wifi adapter or is it using the Dropbox part of it or both? Not...

The 770 is a more accurate machine and should give you better results. I personally would get a 770 over the 440 unless I had very specific needs that the 440 would fulfill. The cost difference after...

Ouch! I get annoyed just looking at coolant stains left on my table every day...I suppose it could have been worse.

Lets just face reality, steel is a better material to build stands for heavy precision CNC machines.

To the OP,
Forget about a wood stand! You bought an $8500 mill that deserves a steel stand....

No need to speculate on actual facts.The leadshine website states, "The MX3660 adopts modular designs. If any of the three stepper drive modules malfunctions, a user can simply replace it with a...

Another vote for HSMxpess or Fusion 360 if you need the CAD too.

You could inquire with Tormach about the quality of the feet. They may replace them for you if your really not happy. As for quality of the machines, I believe Tormach are best in their class and I...

I use a fog buster for aluminum cutting with kool mist coolant. It works pretty well and beats standing there with a WD-40 can and air blowing the machine every 10 seconds.. Flood works better on...

There are plenty of Bridgeport mills in home shops. Easily double the weight of a Tormach.. I think a machine with the same work envelope and foot print as the Tormach, but with more mass, power...

You are absolutely right, which is why I keep the majority of my expensive tools locked up and out of site as well. With that said, i'ts not the reason I keep the computer in the compartment or...

I have my computer in the stand with no issues, I don't run flood so leaking has never been a concern for me though. The PC doesn't really produce much heat, and it's where Tormach intended to put it...
