Hass seems to have a good service organization and that can be a big
deal if you have a breakdown on a critical machine and can't repair it
yourself.

The machine was used primarily for mold making back in the day, so
I'm pretty sure it has full 3 axis.
The main decision maker is having cold feet, now and thinks it would
be a better plan to buy something 4x as expensive and 20years newer,
that would have a serviceable control as is. (and he may be right.)
But I was kind of looking forward to the challenge.
Now He thinks this might be a better deal for us.

Haas have lightweight linear roller guideways which causes short
working life. I was astonished to see the same size guideways on a 10
Hp Haas milling machine we got at work as I have on my pick and place
machine which has no
cutting forces at all! People who use them do love their controls,
however.
