Anyone with a VF9 Mill?

[smallplanes]

We should have a VF9 mill coming in any day now,and i was wonder if anyone one here has one and and how they like it? We have a shop full of Mori's and this will be our first one of a different brand. It has something like 40"in Y 84" in X and i think around 40"in Z. Whats the plus and the minus of this machine? Thanks for any input.

Thanks

Not as rigid, won't contour like the newer moris. Control is easy to use, and they are reliable. Can't really give toe to toe. If your cutting aluminum no problem. A mori that size is going to be massive box ways, about 2 1/2 times heavier and double or more the price.

They are not Moris or Mazaks or Makinos, but they blow the doors off of Fadals, Bridgeports and Daewoos. They are more accurate and way less problematic than OKKs at about half the price.

Good one pondo, that was my laugh for the day.
Not the comment about the VF-9 but the part about your wife.
