First thank you one and all for the replies.
Is the consensis that the fadal is heavier duty or lighter duty than is't arch Nemis Haas?
We run Cat 40 and that is what most of our parts are sized for.
usual stuff is 2" long and 1/4 to 1" wide.
Materials are 416 cond T 12L14 1144, A2, O1, L6, 410 4140 and 4340 both of the last 2 at 42 rc.
Alum in 6061 and 7075.
Milling out the center of a 1x1x3" alum block the machine will only take off so much (7 1/2 hp machine if that) so I want more power and more finish. I would expect with that comes longer tool life.
Chatter with a 1/2" end mill is anoying if nothing else.
What does an Okouma MX45 cost new?
used ones are around for under 50k
Good advice on the demo days. of my friends with Haas and Fadal the fadal's are more reliable. much more with the 6 guys I know that have both.
How much more is service on an Okuma than fadal or haas?
the parts are more and the service guys time more?
double?
Tell me what happens when the ph is off? does it kill the seals or ??? Wanted more machine, much faster tool change, better finish. MORE.....
thank you again for the replies. Nice to have a resourse like this.
