I've been looking at the Haas MDC-500 to replace one of our older machines. I am used to Fadal or Fanuc programming so my questions are;

a) What is the learning curve like going from Fadal format 2 & Fanuc M code G code to the Haas?

B) What can I expect from their service department (North Detroit Suburbs)? They are selling me hard on their service/up-time and that has been our downfall.

Any feedback will be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help. The Haas salesman is taking me over to Macomb Community College to play on some of their cnc's to see how I like them. Still would like some feedback from you CNC guys though.
