I have personally worked on Haas machines for about 15 years now. Wear is usually not an issue with them due to the specs when built at the factory. I have also lasered a few with unbelievable results. The VM3 is a well built machine with all the speed where needed. The 6mm ballscrews leave a very nice finish as well. Bang for the buck, probably one of the best machines out there in it's respective category. I will leave the scale decission on you. They do however work extremely well for positioning. |
