JBO,
We have 4 Haas. One as old as 1990..which We have had since then..newest is a 2001. (VF1,VF2, VF3, and Mini Mill)
We have had very good luck with them all. The 1990 machine has been cutting almost everyday since it was installed..day in and day out..it only runs Steel parts..1117..has since day one..probably spent in the neighborhood of maybe 5000$ to 6000$ on repair parts..total for this machine..monitor, one spindle, a drive board or two, thrust pack for axis ball screw..
As for the others maybe spent 2000$ on the VF3, servo motor and trust pack. The VF2 (a 1998) nothing and the Mini Mill (a 2001) nothing.
Love the controls..very user friendly. Lots of nice features and very reliable.
Really very happy with the machines..that's why we buy more...dealer network excellent..also easy to work on if needed and part are fair priced..Factory guys very helpful if you call them..What more can I say..they work for us...and well.
HTH
