I don't post much but read everything. I've been in machining over 25 years and been running 2 vertical Mazaks machining centers with Fanuc controls just as long.
Well after constant break drowns,and constant nagging (on my part) the owner of the company I work for decided to buy a new machine and to break out of the 1980's and into the 2000's.
So I gathered all the various info on the latest machines and decided that the Haas VF-8 would suit our needs and then some.
I'm excited at this opportunity and challenge of having a new machine but at the same time a little nervous at the different control and programming that comes with it.I know in time it will be old hat and hopefully I will be running it better then the 2 dinosaurs (Mazaks) in time.
I actually feel a little excited about going to work lately (is that bad).
Haas should of been here today 2/5 but maybe tomorrow,and up and running by next week.(got to get it paid for)
So I might be by to ask a question or 2.
Thanks
Dave
