I do that everyday. My concern with Cutting wood on My Haas, is that I can say Cut wood for 6 months, then spend a good day cleaning out the machine so I don't plug up my coolant lines and such. This would not make sense to spend all that time cleaning once a week, as I changed from metal cutting to wood cutting. This Haas when spec'd out is over 90K USD compared to 20K CDN. HAving a wood dedicated machine is what I am looking for. to cut necks, inlays, and prototype bodies in wood(Production bodies are from aluminum Plate). Programming is not an issue. Operating is not an issue. I've been in CNC for 15 years and have run machines that were tape controlled NC thru to the latest and greatest Siemens.
