Hello,
I really need your help because i`m new in this area. I`m planing to buy my first CNC machine and i don`t know what to buy.
We are an aluminum casting company and i want a machine that will machine the parts (80% time) and to do some molds (20% of the time) ... not sophisticated molds... it doesn`t meter if i have to wait more hours when we are doing the molds. What interest me is to have lower times in machining aluminum parts and to have the freedom to manufacture new molds for my own new products.
I was thinking about a new HAAS because they have interesting prices. What i have in mind is a VF-2 BHE. At this price i can get also a Korean machine (FIRST).... it`s a bit bigger ... 800x500 mm ... I asked the korean dealer about Haas and he said: i don`t want to talk bad about the competition.
yes but give me a few details about haas.... why do you think is bad??
the same response....
so i`m asking you ... please give me a general opinion about Haas.
weakness/strong points...
should i buy a `90-98 second hand machine instead? Is it good for my business?
I appreciate a LOT your help.
Thank you,
