I never seemed to notice the box way's on the Fadals being any better than the Haas ways. The machines castings weren't stout enough to benefit from the box way advantage, from my experience.
We used to do the same jobs on both Haas and Fadals. X Y Z rigidity seemed almost identical. We all used to agree that the old 710 ipm haas with the 22 horse gearbox was the toughest machine we had (we had only one with the 22 horse). This in a shop with two 4020's, a 6030, vf-8, and four vf-2's. So before you Mazak trolls laugh, keep in mind that is what we compared them to.
What is your experience comparing the 4020 to the Haas makingchips? |
