man... I would love a haas mini mill to add to my shop arsenal. What kind of feedback do you have for someone who would be interested in get into milling or looking for a haas mini? yeah i know that a open question. I just love the idea of milling somthing and would love to learn more about how and why a hobbyist would or should get into one. Also what about power requirements from a home garage.
What’s up Ratha. Yes you should get one.😂 I’d say this first, if you’re still limited to a standard home garage when getting a cnc mill, than this is the way. I love my mini mill but if you can get a bigger machine than most definitely do that. I have run many Haas machines of all sizes in my past careers and the holy grail for me is the VF-2. If you want further input sometime just DM me on Instagram. Thanks for watching and thanks for your great content. Dave
@@nubtools i'm new at work and they have an '04 model. the oil thickens in the sump and makes a nasty layer. i tried taking out large chunks but no luck.
I ran one about that age and the coolant tank design was very difficult to maintain. The newer models are designed much better. Have you looked into the rope style skimmers?
Thanks for sharing your insight about Haas CNC Mini Mills without a Chip Auger.
👍
The magnet was perfect for holding the door open!
I had my doubts during the planning but it worked out great!
Nice job! 👍😎👍
Thanks!
what about that awesome 10EE love those lathes
It’s cool. Love that thing.

I run this machine on single phase 240v. / 40 amp breaker. I have other machines that use 3 phase power that is supplied by a rotary phase converter.
@@nubtools Thanks David! I really appreciate the insight.
Is that a haas chip rake? I have the same rake that came with my used MM and always wondered who /where it was made.
Yes it is. It came with the machine.
How do u deal with oil in the coolant reservoir ?
There is an extension on the side that the pump sits in where you can put a oil skimmer…. but I don’t do anything 😁

@@nubtools i think that i should convince them to move to an MQL system. we don't do production work
Great idea! I know how you like to be tech savvy. I would have gave you a pc of 1/4 neoprene for free! good job.
neoprene would have been much better.
Nice use of that brain..
