I think all CJH's comments are very good but this one brings out a point that I think is worth mentioning. The Haas TM, or TL, machines are presented as starter models buy in the hands of an experienced person they are just as capable as the big boy machines. Maybe not in brute strength and speed but in the controller capacity and ability to run any programs.
I suggest forget about running them as a manual machine, develop the skill to use MDI and/or the jog handle or jog keys and your wrists and back will not get as tired.
