    Haas mini mill tool changer sliding covers?

    Does anyone have a haas mini mill here?
    if so does yours have the sliding covers on the tool changer that
    keep it covered if no tool is in that pocket?

    I know the TM does not but my new Mini Mill does not have any.

    I have two regular Mini Mills and three Super Mini Mills and all came without sliding pocket covers on the tool changer. They are now standard on Super Mini Mills but I don't know about regular Mini Mills. Retrofit kits are available and are easy to install.

    MiniMill 2000, MiniMill 2001, SuperMiniMill 2002, SuperMiniMill 2003, SuperMiniMill 2004. The last two Supers have the extended Z clearance, 4th axis and are fitted with HRT210 rotary tables. The 2004 Super had some problems with the tool changer motors that was due to a defect in the motors not exactly the fault of Haas. The motors were all replaced under warranty and so far the problem has not occurred again.

    Hass told me the extended Z was just a head riser & still only had 10" Z.
    Cause I had that on my order. 14" Z would be nice on the mini mills.
    Mine seems to run fine except for an oiling deal. If I let it set for a week I have to pump the oiler by hand or it will error out. Must be a very fine air leak. No big deal because I don't run it much.
