Hey guys, looking for general opinions, we are a maintenance shop doing fabrication using mostly mild steel, 4140 and aluminum. We have very little CNC experience as we have all manual machines now. One machine I'm looking at is the Haas TM3P tool room mill with the 10K spindle upgrade, 20 tool ATC, wireless probing, chip auger, high speed machining, remote jog, 4th axis 8" rotary table, pretty much every option, $86k brand new with the extended warranty. How are the Haas tool room mills? The machine won't be used "all day, every day" in a production setting, it may only get used once a day.
We are also looking at the Hurco VM20i and the Milltronics VM4020. We already have prices and options for these 2. Both of these are going to run at least $20k more than the Haas with all the same options.
Another major factor would be the software. Ease of use, easy to learn?
Thoughts???
