Eggsr2bcrushed exactly. This is why I recently purchased a umc-750 over a comparable fully blown heidenhain machine. The other company went to extremes to meet the Haas price, but they did. It gives me peace of mind to know that I have a new spindle within a day for roughly 4K. Instead of my recent experience with another machine builder (6 weeks down, 20k repair bill). The transparency of Haas, along with my experience of using them in an earlier job made me purchase Haas again. Looking forward to buy many more of them. Especially after their competitor said something like "Haas only build press drills. They don't make machines." the arrogance of the competitors of Haas is costing them customers.

In all fairness nothing new here.. UMC750 with more travel.. They sure didn't mention that mori seiki pallet pool @ 17:38..

Chief Machining I believe they did mentioned that at the beginning, about that they just buy the machines they need if they don't make them their selfs. Something in that line. I thought it's a bit on the beginning of the video

@@pjotter0 I've read enough to know that Haas isn't at the top of the speed/accuracy curve. But capability is only as much as your ability to utilize it. For the price of one of the "big" names, it might be possible to get a Haas and a pallet changer. Now who's kicking who's teeth in on cycle time? And if it's a pool/multi-pallet changer, you may have effectively "bought" another machinist and a third shift depending on your usage. It's like all the cats I know who believe they're going to be millionaires because they bought a high-dollar 3D printer. They can't get a sustainable business going because they couldn't afford to pay someone to do sales/marketing, modeling, metrology, and someone to babysit the machine and keep it running. It's just a machine. Do you have a system to fully utilize it? And how well can you recover from when it breaks?

That was my reaction. So next time you're pricing a private jet and wondering why it costs so much, remember how much carbide was destroyed in the making of it... :P

What are the tolerances of a haas mill?

Old big Horizontal is it a Giddings and Lewis?

bcbloc02 BURKHARDT+WEBER we have some Gids too just not near as big! you ride in the cabin on the ways on the old Burkhardt Ten tool magazine tree, 95 tool mag pocket, & 25 tool multihead it's a dual spindle machine

Nice! I would love to see a tour of that machine! :-)

bcbloc02 If you ever decide to visit central Indiana hit me up in advance I can get you the all access tour!! We have almost every manufacturers machines from Haas to mazak, ingersoll, okuma, Burkhardt, waldrich, giddings and lewis. We machine up to a 16cyl with a 350 ish mm cylinder v block and 20cyl smaller ones!!

Any jobs going?

I think it was his evil clone... minor-me 7/8 the size, 7/8 more evil

NYC CNC design engineer in the VMC group. Handled tool room and mini mills, then did some work with rotary products. Also did a bunch of FEA simulations for proposed casting changes and "customs." First job out of college, so I mostly handled improvement projects. The plasma project (really a 2½ axis development program) was tossed my way b/c I had robotics & Mechatronics experience. That got me a ton of experience as a machinist (I had none when I started) as I was making quite basic proof of concept parts. Really an awesome environment for a budding engineer. But it also spoiled me. Full access to the tool crib of such a large manufacturing environment was awesome! Realizing that wasn't normal after leaving was downright cruel and unusual punishment! LOL

That sounds awesome! I actually just graduated with a Mechatronics Engineering degree, and while I'm excited about my job in the defense industry, the one place I think I would love even more would be working on CNC machine development.

Rick . . . Leave California ASAP if you know what's good for you

Vid Kok they are cute indeed.. And workhorses for the price!

NYC CNC 30 machines are running all 50 taper. We specialize in steel and titanium. Been looking into the hsk for 40 but would have to build separate tools for balancing. Don't get me wrong Haas are very nice.
