I ordered a dual spindle machine. Initially, I requested that both spindles be usable interchangeably. However, during testing, I discovered that the machine could only mirror cut, restricting the project size by half. Consequently, the machine had to be reconfigured to use one spindle for cutting and the other for engraving, mimicking an auto tool changer. Additionally, I noticed that the Z height was only 6 inches instead of the expected 12 inches. They had to reconfigure it essentially, rebuilding it twice.

I just submitted the final payment today for the router, and Theresa informed me that it should be on the next ship out on 12/17. It's being delivered to a Dallas, TX warehouse where I can pick it up myself or pay the broker to deliver it to my location.

First CNC Guide

SPACE

Machine tools are big and heavy, and once in place, they aren’t easy to move around. A Machine Layout Drawing is available for all Haas machines, which includes all the necessary exterior and interior dimensions of the machine. Use this to help lay out your shop and decide on the machine placement. The general rule of thumb is to ensure you have about 3 feet of space behind the machine and at least 4 feet of space on all other sides. The space behind the machine is critical so that the electrical cabinet can be fully opened. This is also the location for the incoming power. Your electrician will need to know this location to properly run the electrical supply to the machine. The location of the chip discharge will vary by machine and is an important consideration for machine placement.

Other things to consider for machine placement are the locations of the doorways into your shop. Most machine shops have large roll-up doors to the outside. Be careful where your machine is placed in relation to these doors, as they can allow large temperature swings in the shop. While the Haas machine has built-in thermal compensation to adjust for normal temperature effects, large thermal changes are not easily compensated for.

If your machine accommodates large workpieces, you’ll need to consider a location with additional space for loading material into and out of the machine. A lift device, such as the Haas Shop Lift or a forklift, may be necessary to load and unload the machine.

Tip: Use tape marks on the floor to “see” how different machine locations and orientations will work in your shop.
