There are alot of things to concider such as price what your planning on cutting ext,ext, Now i have never worked with a yoda but i have seen them run at least HMC and they are fast VERY fast. I have 3 HAAS and they are ok machines for the price they are not a hevy cutting MACHINE

Hello , thanks we mainly cut tool steels such as D2 , A2 , M2 ,6150 , CRS and a little Aluminum here and there we have two Fadal 4020 HT 2004 they are not too great we have had around 15,000 dollars in repairs in the last year so the boss is ready to switch. Thanks

Well if you doing heavy cutting mostly i would stay away from the haas, there are some other real good machines out there the Sharp from what i have heard and what i have read is a good machine, very solid,(so i hear not sure never ran one) and they are very good on price http://www.cnczone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=34266
this is a thread that has been discused lately
also i would look into the daewoo's

I am checking them out right now. My boss really likes the Toyoda AF1000 and they are probably better than Hass but we dont do heavy cutting all of our steel comes in an 1/8 of an inch to a 1/4 over. Two Toyodas that have the same specs as the vf 3 yt by haas are 50k less but haas has more options such as the probe included.

Yeah yodas are high, haas a good machines but for what you are talking i would look at the Sharp or the Daewoo

So were not really doing heavy cutting. So the Toyoda's are better or worse than these two brands? sorry I am not to familiar with them
