Haas Horiz

[Kool Parts]

Has anyone used or been around the "new" Haas Horizontal? I am looking at adding one but have been thinking about other makes. Thanks, Gary

don't know any thing about the Haas but we have a new KIWA
on its way going to put it on the floor monday.
The wheels here looked at all the goodies and decided this was the best bang for the buck.

From the information i have seen its coming with 2 pallets.
The fisrt problem has already come up is the retention studs
that are comeing with the machine will not screw into standard
cat40 tooling the studs threads are metric.

[Kool Parts]

the studs threads are metric

You have got to be kidding. I didn't know there was such a thing. But that isn't really saying much Gary

[fjd]

Just another up date as in no update machine was to be here
monday then wed. now they say next wed. I am not sure its off the boat yet. Also still no retion knobs yet.

the lastest news on the KIA it here, got it on the floor and in postion 7 pm today Now the big question is how long will it be till its operational.

Which one are you interested in the EC-300 or the EC-400?

I am work with both of the daily, and know both machines very well.

The EC-400 is far better than the EC-300.

The EC-400 is a solid machine.

I was looking at the 400. My salesrep was just here, and sort of busrt my bubble. It only has 20" XYZ. I need a min 23''XY. He did however point me in a new direction that I am intersted in. The VF-4APCQ with super high speed op. What do you think of that config? Gary

[Haas_Apps]

The VF-4APCQ may work better for you. I do not know what your application is.
The EC-400 has an advertised work envolope of 20 x 20 x 20, although it is actually a little bigger.

If you need more information on the VF-4APCQ check out the following link:
