Haas Tool Room Alternatives
I shouldn't have said bad luck, it's more like the process is inefficient, both to set up and program, and if I'm getting a machine specifically to do this job TCPC is going to drastically cut down on the hours required. Also, martin trunnion tables don't come with models and anything we model...- Haku

Haas Tool Room Alternatives
I've spoken to my HFO a couple of times, and the 30-week lead time is definitely firm, though I'll definitely ask them to keep me in mind if someone backs out on an order. A VF-2 would be nice but they need 70 amps unless you get a gearbox, but at that point, a new one would really be more than...- Haku

Haas Tool Room Alternatives
I need some advice on buying a new, or new to me, machine. I'm limited by my shop that doesn't have much available power (about 60 amps @ 220 MAX) without spending quite a bit, and I have 4" 4000PSI concrete, so while most machines are fine, some of the used machines I've found that way...- Haku

Looking to buy a used 5 axis VMC, what should I watch for?
I’m looking to buy an older used 5 axis machine and I'm looking for advice on how inspecting one of these machines might differ from inspecting a 3 axis machine. For reference, I'm looking at a 2013 YCM FX380A.- Haku

Vibratory Tumbler Brand Recommendations
W3-W5 are standard tub type 3 and 5 cu ft type tumblers. I'll probably buy a bowl eventually, but for now, I'll probably stick with a tub as most of my parts are 12"x6"x2". But I'm more curious about who you bought your tumbler from, how your experience with the company has been etc. -

Vibratory Tumbler Brand Recommendations
I’m looking for a W3 to W5 type machine, for prepping 6061T6 parts for anodizing. We do small production runs, where we’ll make between 150-350 parts a month. As I’m shopping around I’m noticing that Giant Finishing, Mass Finishing, Kalamazoo Industries, and Advanced Finishing all have very... -

Where do I set my work origin on this setup?
I wasn't sure what you meant at first but after seeing how tooling balls work this seems like it would be perfect too! Thanks for the help!- Haku

Where do I set my work origin on this setup?
I have a one-off part I need to make that has a pocket in it at 8 degrees. My machine is only 3 axis, so I was thinking I might use some angle blocks and oversized vice jaws, but I'm not quite sure what to probe! I'm thinking I could just probe the corner of the vice and make my model as...- Haku
