I recently became a traitor to the Tormach group.
All of a sudden my RC boat parts business has just exploded.
I can no longer keep up with orders on my PCNC1100 so I took the plunge and bought a Haas VF 3 and a ST10 lathe.
The new mill has a 10,000 RPM spindle and 30 horsepower. The ATC holds 20 tools and it changes tools in about 8 seconds.
The ST 10 lathe has a 6 inch chuck, 15 horsepower and a 6,000 RPM spindle. I got a collet closer for 3J collets and a 6 foot bar feeder.
Next month I’ll be moving out of the garage into an 1,800 square foot industrial building.
Now the fun begins.
I started making model boat parts as a hobby and as I said, all hell has broken loose. I make high quality parts and I put a warranty on my stuff.
