The Haas VR series machines are my favorite machines. We have 3 of them and they always have work, always. All three work differently because of software. Vector retract works great on the 99 machine but on the 07 and 12 machine's it stays in Vector jog and you have to power the machine off to get it to clear. The 12 machine will crash its self if it is in Vector jog and E-stop is pressed. The 07 machine will not. When using the control to mirror programs the 99 machine works just the way you expect. The 07 and 12 machines will not mirror 5 axis moves unless the A and B axis positions are on every line even if not changed. Other than that and the gears in the rotary axes wearing out faster than the original.

Who else has them and what do you like or not like about them?
