I’m thinking about purchasing a used tm2p 2014 model Haas mill from a west coast dealer. It has a chip auger, probing and 4th axis. The used machine only has 300 cutting hours on it. I can buy a new tm2p without the 4th axis for about the same money. My question is which one do I purchase? Are there any improvements to the new machine to make it worth the cost. Is Haas’s next generation controller a major improvement or all fluff. I careless about seeing videos on the control. Is the 2014 machine new enough to have all the pneumatics centralize in one location like 2017 models?
If I purchase a used mill can I expect good service from the local Haas HMO?
I realize these questions are relative but I would like the opinion of the group.
