I just saw this post. I got my machine a little over 2 months ago and I really like it. I am a former owner if a Haas and a FADAL. And the only differences I see between those machines is the size and the price. My FADAL was $72,000.00 plus delivery sales tax and tooling. Total of close to $83,000.00.
The Haas was closer to $85,000.00. The Tormach PCNC1100, less than $15,000.00 including lots of tooling and delivery.
The only difference in performance is the speed. The FADAL and Haas both had 10,000 RPM and 20 horsepower and the Tormach has 5,100 RPM and 1.5 horsepower. WHOOP DEDEE. It just takes a little longer to do it on the Tormach, but hey, I'm supposed to be retired, so what do I have besides time.
If you want to see my set up, send me a PM with a phone number and we can set something up. |
