CNC Lathes

[MichaelBick]

I've been charged with the job of writing a proposal to our school's board of directors(private school) for new tools for our robotics programs. Because our robotics program both significantly lacks funding and space, I have been putting together different "plans" on ways our school could help sponsor our team. I was thinking of including a Haas CNC lathe in one of these plans but I'm not sure how much we would use it. I would love if people could tell me how useful they have found them to be, because if they aren't used a lot, I think the money and space could be better used on other machines. In addition could you please reccomend models. Thanks.
