So a buddies VF-2 has been having some cutting problems so I checked the spindle bearings. Getting about .003" at the spindle with a 6" tool and hand pressure.
I look around at getting it rebuilt and finally realize Haas exchange is cheaper by $1000. The Haas website shows our dealer being 6 hours away in Ohio, but there is one half the distance in North Carolina so I call them. They say we are not in their territory and can't sell to us, so I call the one in Ohio. They say we are not in their territory either. So now I'm waiting for Haas factory sales to call back, just to find out where to get parts.
Now if I actually find out where to get the parts, I'll need to set push out distance and orient position for the ATC. How do I set orient position on these?
Another question. Will we end up with a better spindle having someone rebuild this one? I haven't had the best experiences with Haas and their spindles.
