Our shop has a Haas VF-5 with an HR 210 4th. I am constantly needing to drill oil/fluid holes at multiple axis angles, therefore, my expensive toy sits while I go to the trusty bridgeport. The problem with this is the multiple amount of set-ups required to do this, along with small runs 2-10 parts and infrequency(might never do them again. precludes me from exacting fixtures to produce repeatable results and symetric parts ( compressor and turbine replacement parts fro power generation)
I have read all the literature I can find, and got the salesman to come out and present options. Basically here is the scoop. I can get a trunion unit for 30-40 K. Does anyone have any suggestions ? I had some thoughts but maybe my "stoneage" views are not giving me the answers I need.
I sometimes need my full 4th, and a stepper 5th. Other times a stepper 4th and a rotary 5th is needed
Thks
