    Nice machine and it is good to see one with the Doors still on it. BTW: will she take 16C Collets?

    It's too bad that you'll have to get it dirty soon.

    We are going to use it for short runs (e.g. 10pcs or so) and prototypes. I checked into different spindle noses that you can get for it and it will easily accept 5C, 16C, 2J, 3J, and 22J. 22J will accept 2.250" bar but the collets are a bit on the pricy side. I plan on putting doors on my TM-1. I am fed up with the mess it makes. It would be one thing if it just droped crap on the ground. Instead, it throws chips every direction in a 15 foot radius. It should not be a big deal building an enclosure for it. I cant complain to much though. The TM paid for itself and the new TL-2 so I guess that if it wants to toss chips everywhere, it has earned it. This would be a good project to post here in CNCZONE. I am sure that there are more shops out there that want to enclose theirs as well.

    I wish mine had the enclosure on it. Thing spits coolant all the way across the shop. I was going to say though, it's way too clean. Start making chips man!

    Nice!
    Are you going to machine any of that unexploded ammunition?

    Hi AMCTony, do you programming your HAAS lathe with any cad-cam software?

    I am currently using the haas quick code. It seems to be sufficent for lathe parts as they are pretty straight forward.
