Re: CNC Lathes

I wouldn't suggest including a Haas CNC lathe. It's only advantage would be in producing large quantities of complex parts, short of that whatever you need can be done on a manual machine. In addition Haas CNC lathes aren't very good, and have been known to machine tapers (Haas mills excellent though).

I would instead suggest looking at quality manual lathes with full tooling, or CNC milling machines.
