If any team doesnt have to money for a 2 million dollar HAAS machine but still wants a small CNC for making parts check this out
(I realize not all HAAS CNC's are 2 million dollars but it sounds good for the purpose of a shock factor) |
HAAS machines are definitely not 2 million dollars..... but I use a Hurco VM-2 at work, its a much much better value than a Haas.
Tons more accurate too..... sub-tenth-thousandth chord tolerances and repeatable as all get out. Awesome user interface, very small footprint for the work cube size. Designed and serviced from Indianapolis.
Sorry, I just really really like the machine.

I can answer any ?'s you like. We have 2 homebuilt CNC machines as well (6'x12' and a 3'x2').
