The seller who is the original owner says that the machine is tight and was in good operating condition when it was pulled from service 10 years ago.
The machine was used primarily for mold making back in the day, so I'm pretty sure it has full 3 axis. The main decision maker is having cold feet, now and thinks it would be a better plan to buy something 4x as expensive and 20years newer, that would have a serviceable control as is. (and he may be right.) But I was kind of looking forward to the challenge. Now He thinks this might be a better deal for us. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2001-Haas-VF-2-D-Vertical-Machining-Center-Side-Mount-ATC/323966324202?hash=item4b6de5cdea:g:LH0AAOSw7RtdvDET I really don't know much about metal working machines, all of my experience is with wood working CNC routers. Anyone here familiar with Haas VF-2 machines, and their controls of approximately year 2001 vintage? Todd Zuercher P.
