how high is the mini mill when the z is down ? u`d like to see if it will come into my garage door. my door is a 7 footer .

[keebler303]

Neglecting the cable chain the height is 101" max. Subtract the z travel of 10" and you are still well over 7'.

what if i removed all the components , motor , covers .

[keebler303]

Obviously you could disassemble it enough to fit. I think it would be a question to ask Haas. You might get something useful from this: http://www.cnczone.com/forums/haas_m..._minimill.html

I have put them in a 86" door opening, it was a easy fit I don't know how much I had to spare, but never removed anything, You need long forks & a low 5000lb fork lift

Subtract the z travel of 10"

The Z travel on a minmill has 14" of travel, 10" is the tool change height

my door opening is 84" thats the max size . would it go in that opening ?

A minimill is 10".

A minimill2 is 14"

Not correct a minmill has 14" of travel in the Z axes, as I said the 10" is the tool change height, it is obvious you do not own one, a minimill2 has 4" more in all axes than the minimill

Tomorrow morning, call

Why would you need to, it's all in the spec of the machine, 14" for the minmill & 18" for the minimill2 , the number 10" is for the tool change height, there is 4" more above this height, the minimill2 toolchange height is 14" + 4" above

[magnum500sw]

so will it fit in a 84" door ?

This is why he needs to call the source.

i was hoping to have a member here that owns a mini take 5 min and run the z down as far as it can go and do a quick measure for me , i`m thinking the mini will scoot under that door with the motor covers off but would like to know what i`m in for befor i put the $$ down .

If the machine will even fit under your ceiling at its max height, I think it would be easier, cheaper, and less time consuming to knock out your doorway to make it fit. Thats just my thought

[magnum500sw]

that would be an option but the paint in that part of the addition is barely dry . in other words she`d kick my ....$$ . if i was single it would be done .

You are correct I don't own one. Not trying to ruffle any feathers.

Why do they state the travel as 10 when it's 14 and list min and max spindle to table dimensions as 4 and 14? Seems odd.

Somewhere in the literature or manual for my MiniMills and Super MiniMills there was an explanation. The 10 inches of travel down from the tool change position is the useable travel and the other 4 inches above the tool change position is not useable because the linear guides are not fully supported so the head is not as rigid against side loading.

Well, the newer it is, the easier it would be to match things back up and to match up (structure, color, etc...).

your not married are you ?

i called haas as recommended and the sent me some info , if i loosen the conduit flanges it will go down to 78.5 " remove the head cover and a regen resistor and get 75 " . this looks like info for an older machine like in the early 2000`s to 2010 , umbrella style . looks like i`m in buisness .
