Re: Team SCREAM's new Haas CNC tools

Chad,

The grant came from our state deptartment of education. There is a lot of money out there for STEM education. It takes a lot of planning and work to apply. This grant actually is a 75/25% matching grant as well. This means that our school picked up 25% of the cost which is still a lot. We are really fortunate to be supported by our district so much.

The TM2-P does have the option of adding a chip auger, but we elected to pass on it. Students will enjoy quality time with the machine by scooping out the chips by hand. The P option means that it has the automatic tool changer

It does have the Renishaw probe though. It is an awesome addition to the machine. Our students will be learning how to touch off tools and setting offsets both manually and with the probe.
