I am surprised the Haas tech guys haven't chimed in.
Although the Haas techs post here, I'm not sure that they want to be just "Haas Fan Boys." I truly think they want to help with issues, but not promote the machines like they are sales people.
I respect the way they are helping people out and sometimes arbitrating issues.
Kudos to them. Let's get actual owners to evaluate the actual machines.
