Thanks for that info, no one at my HFO mentioned the warranty difference.

$2395 is what shows on the web site (+ install cost according to my HFO)

Hey behindpropeller, I know this is a bit of an old thread but I wanted to ask if you ever did the 4th axis wiring install. I was finally ready to purchase the wiring and an HRT 160 last week but...

2 hours travel each way is an obstacle for me too.

The legal notice went to all users and was pretty much just a restatement of the Licensing Policy which is basically one user per license, with the program able to be loaded on up to three computers...

Well that explains the recent legal notice that they sent out to all users about license enforcement and also the signigifant increase in Maintenance fees that went into effect a couple of months...

Thank you! Very helpful.

Where did you guys find the workbook? Is it posted on the Haas site somewhere? I'd like to download it.

I use a desiccant cartridge filter and so far (3 years) it has worked just fine. I see no evidence of moisture in the drop just before the my mill, and have never found any in the...

Thanks for posting the pics, very interesting. I love to see successful US manufacturers.

What Geof suggests (speed higher but accel at OEM steeing) has worked for me for the last 2 years. No errors.

When my machine came new I got anxious waiting for the install tech (took 3 weeks to get someone here) so I started fiddling around and sealed up some of the seams with silicone. I didn't finish...

Yeah good point. I agree I would need to add some gussets. I wasn't planning to close up the top. It doesn't seem like I need to do that. Not many chips or much coolant flies up that high now. ...

I was thinking of just adding on to the existing sheet metal that came with my machine, minus the stuff attached to the table obviously. Attached is a sketch of assembly that consists of a left and...

My HFO told me about 6 months ago that install was not included in the price of the parts. At that time they wanted an extra $800 for the install.

I talked with Hardinge about a month ago when they had a good deal going on 4th axis stuff and they told me the same thing as extanker56 says. They said they have models that are specifically...

Ditto with the comments above as far as taper and chatter goes on my TL-3. I've regularly cut meter long alloy shafting with total taper below 0.001 no problem. When the lathe was first delivered I...

I have had one for a couple of years now and it has been a great machine. It just runs and runs and runs. Definitely get the tool changer.

A 2004 HRT160 that is white in color and has the two cables to connect is brushless am I right?

It is working fine for me.

Same experience for me. The increased speed and smoother transitions is most noticeable. The new sheet metal from solids option looks interesting (I have expert). I am still having trouble getting...

It costs me a hair under $500 just to have them show up for service. Only half of your $1000 cost yeah, but still steep in my book. Their phone line help has been very good, and free. I find the...

I have some Glacern CAT 40 tool holders and some from Mari Tool. All are about 2 years old now. Two of five Glacern ones are showing a bit of fretting on the taper. The Mari ones don't show any...

I have had my machines home to strange positions on start up a couple of times and subsequently found a chip stuck to the limit switch. Same as Geof mentioned.

I have been using it for about two years. I have had good luck with it. I have never had a batch go rancid and smelly on me and it seems to protect the machine's surfaces well. I use it on my lahtes...

I bought my TM-1 right about the time Heli John bought his. Mine was delivered in Feb of 2008.

I agree that rigid tap is something that you definitely want. It is used all the time on my mill. I...

Where are you with plans for sale?

Thanks, I'll ask about the pricing again then. When I talked with the HFO last week they said it would cost me the option price listed by Haas for the 4th axis electrics kit (which did include the...

I have a late model TM-1 and I would like to add a 4th axis. Unfortunately I didn't get the 4th axis wiring when I bought the machine. If I order the 4th axis stuff from Haas am I going to be able...

Got it, thanks gents!
